In Summary






    Myanmar's military junta has continued to bomb parts of the war-torn country following the major earthquake there, which has killed more than 2,900 people.

    The UN has described the attacks as "completely outrageous and unacceptable".

    Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews told the BBC that it was "nothing short of incredible" that the military was continuing to "drop bombs when you are trying to rescue people" after the earthquake.

    He called on the military regime, which seized power in a coup nearly four years ago to stop all military operations.

    "Anyone who has influence on the military needs to step up the pressure and make it very clear that this is not acceptable," he said.
