Myanmar's military government has continued to bomb parts of the war-torn country following the major earthquake, which has killed more than 1,600 people.

The UN has described the attacks as completely outrageous and unacceptable.

UN Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews says that it was nothing short of incredible that the military was continuing to drop bombs when they are trying to rescue people after the earthquake.

He called on the military regime, which seized power in a coup nearly four years ago to stop all military operations.

Andrews is calling on the government to stop any of its military operations.

BBC Burmese confirms seven people were killed in an air strike in Naungcho in northern Shan state.
