The strikes killed 11 and wounded 11, she said, adding that the office of a local political party had been damaged. Namhkam is around 5 kilometres (3 miles) from the border with China’s Yunnan province, with TNLA fighters claiming control of the town following weeks of fighting last year. Images on social media showed people sifting through rubble and carrying a young person who appeared to be wounded. One video showed several destroyed buildings. AFP reporters geolocated that video to a site in Namhkam and said it had not appeared online before.
