Description
Houses burn in Myanmar's Rakhine state Human Rights Watch says it has satellite data "consistent with widespread burnings" in 10 populated areas of Myanmar's Rakhine State, including Rohingya villages as well as Rakhine-majority settlements attacked by Rohingya militants. Violence has been raging in Rakhine since Friday, when militants staged coordinated ambushes against Myanmar's security forces. The Myanmar government and military have frequently accused Rohingya militants of setting fire to villagers' homes, something which they deny. IMAGES
