Strong winds and freak hailstorms across a wide swathe of north-central Burma killed at least eight people and did extensive damage to thousands of homes over the weekend, according to the government’s Relief and Resettlement Department. Department director Phyu Lei Lei Tun told DVB that the extreme weather that hit parts of Sagaing, Mandalay and Magwe divisions and Chin and Shan states since Friday had destroyed more than a thousand homes.
