Myanmar junta troops are committing war crimes by laying land mines on a “massive scale” around villages where they are battling anti-coup fighters, rights campaign group Amnesty International said Wednesday. Fighting has ravaged swathes of the country since last year’s putsch, which sparked renewed clashes with ethnic rebel groups and the formation of dozens of People’s Defense Force groups now battling the junta.
