BANGKOK: Ethnic minority fighters battling Myanmar's junta said on Saturday they had seized a trading hub in eastern Shan state, days after China said it had mediated a temporary ceasefire.

Clashes have raged across Shan since the Arakan Army (AA), the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) and the Ta'ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) launched a joint offensive in late October.
