India, April 2 -- Myanmar's military Junta fired at a Chinese convoy that was carrying earthquake relief aid to the quake-hit areas in the civil-war-ravaged country on Tuesday.

The Ta'ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), an armed rebel group, told BBC that military troops shot at a convoy of nine vehicles using heavy machine guns as it was passing through the Naung Cho township in the northern Shan state, en route to Mandalay.

The TNLA said the convoy had informed the junta of its route and aid delivery plans.

The military told the British media that it was not notified that the convoy would be passing through and that it opened fire because it did not stop.

The junta claimed no one was injured in the incident.
