Fighters from Myanmar’s Karen ethnic minority have burned down a government military outpost after capturing it without a fight when its garrison fled, a senior Karen officer said.

The position is about nine miles from a larger camp which the Karen National Liberation Army stormed and burned 10 days earlier.
