A state of emergency has been declared in the Kokang region of Myanmar, following intense fighting between ethnic-minority rebels and the army.
President Thein Sein has handed power in the area over to the military and imposed a three-month period of martial law.
Fighting was triggered by the return of rebel leader Phone Kya Shin after five years of exile in China.
Tens of thousands of refugees have been forced to flee their homes.
