May, 2001, fighting between the
Myanmar army and the Shan State
Army rebels also resulted in
incursions into Thailand. Again,
the Thais responded with mortar
fire. Both
nations accuse the other of
suporting rival ethnic rebel
groups involved in a lucrative
cross-border drug trade and of
waging a proxy war against each
other. Sources: R.

Myanmar
(Burma) Civil War
(1948-Present)
As
a result of the continuing civil
war in Myanmar (formerly known as
Burma), combat between the
government and the various ethnic
and political rebel guerrilla
armies occasionally spills over
the border into Thailand. In
February, 2001, the Thai military
responded to one such spillover
with artillery. The Myanmar army
responded in kind, and both sides
suffered casualties.
Relatively minor, with Thailand
reporting three civilian
deaths
