Myanmar’s military conducted airstrikes on Sunday targeting ethnic rebels in Karen state, as fresh fighting broke out for control of the town of Lay Kay Kaw near the Thai border, according to a spokesman at the rebelgroup and media reports.

A spokesman for the Karen National Union , which isMyanmar’s oldest ethic rebel group, said the army appeared to be reinforcing the area after Sunday’s clashes though he had not yet received reports of fresh fighting on Monday. Public Voice Television, which is backed by a shadow government set up since the coup, said the rebels had detained a captain from the Myanmar army during the fighting.

Lay Kay Kaw has been largely under the control of the KNU in recent months, but the army has at times sought to reassert control and fighting broke out last December when troops tried to arrest people in the town.
