Rescuers dig for bodies after Myanmar explosives blast kills at least 38

Stored gelignite exploded at a mining depot in Namhkam, Shan State, Myanmar on Sunday killing at least 38; the exact toll is uncertain as the blast scattered remains across the site. Myanmar's militia-controlled resource extraction zones operate without safety oversight, making unregulated explosives storage a systemic risk rather than an isolated incident.
