Military aircraft bombed KNU fighters on the weekend, sending about 3,000 villagers fleeing to Thailand., but a Thai official on the border said the army was sending most people back because it was deemed safe on the Myanmar side.

Western countries have condemned the coup and the violence and called for Aung San Suu Kyi's release, and some have imposed limited sanctions.In Washington, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said some foreign countries and companies with significant investments in enterprises that support Myanmar's military should reconsider those stakes.
