Chinese fighter jets have been scrambled to the
skies above the country's southwestern border with Burma after four
Chinese farmers were killed in what appeared to have been a botched
bombing raid by its neighbour on Friday.
The
farmers had been working in a sugar cane field in China's Yunnan
province when a "Burma warplane" dropped a bomb on the region on Friday,
according to Xinhua, Beijing's official news service.
The
plane is likely to have been trying to hit targets across the border in
Kokang, a pocket of eastern Burma where government troops are currently
locked in conflict with rebels.
Fighting
between Burma's army and members of a rebel group called the Burma
National Democratic Alliance Army or MNDAA broke out last month in
Kokang, which is inhabited by mostly Mandarin-speaking ethnic Chinese.
Some officials in Yangon have claimed the rebel group has received
Chinese training.
Beijing sent
"several batches" of jets to patrol the border following Friday's
incident, Shen Jinke, a spokesperson for China's Air force told state
media on Saturday. The pilots were ordered to "track, monitor, warn and
chase away" any aircraft from Burma, he added.
