China dispatches fighter jets to Myanmar border
2015-03-15
[Iran Press TV] China has dispatched fighter jets to the border with Myanmar after a Burmese warplane reportedly dropped a bomb on Chinese territory, killing four civilians and injuring nine others.

China sent several warplanes to "track, monitor, warn and chase away" Myanmar military planes approaching the common border, Chinese Air force front man Colonel Shen Jinke said on Saturday.

Shen also added that Beijing would watchfully monitor the airspace along its border with Myanmar.

The Myanmar warplane dropped the bomb on a sugarcane field in China's southwestern Yunnan province on Friday.

#1  ...FWIW, that part of the world has borders that are traditionally...fluid. It's remote and rugged enough that without a functioning GPS, it's a tossup as to whose side of the line you're on.
