A World Health Organization (WHO) vehicle carrying swabs from patients to be tested for CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus came under gunfire in Myanmar’s (also known as Burma) western Rakhine state and the driver was killed, the United Nations said on Tuesday.

It did not say who carried out the attack in a region where fighting between the army and Arakan Army insurgents has intensified despite global calls for a ceasefire over the pandemic that killed five and caused 119 infections in Burma.
