At least 55 people have reportedly been killed in a blast in Myanmar's Kaung Tat village, which a rebel army says was caused by the accidental explosion of material stored for use in mining.
The Ta'ang National Liberation Army, which is currently in a ceasefire with the Myanmar military and controls the village near the Chinese border, said there had been fatalities, without saying how many.
Local news outlet Shwe Phee Myay News Agency said at least 55 people had died, including 25 women and 30 men, and that dozens more were wounded.
