More than 30 people, including women and children, have been killed and their bodies burned in Myanmar's conflict-torn Kayah state, media reports citing local human rights group said. Al Jazeera citing the Karenni Human Rights Group reported that it found the burned bodies of internally displaced people - including elderly people, women and children - near Mo So village of Hpruso town on Saturday.

"We strongly denounce the inhumane and brutal killing which violates human rights," the group said in a Facebook post. Myanmar is in turmoil since the coup on February 1, when the Myanmar military led by Senior General Ming Aung Hlaing overthrew the civilian government and declared a year-long state of emergency.
