Armed with simple tools, a rebel unit in Myanmar is helping to clear deadly landmines from the war raging between the junta and pro-democracy fighters. They scour the hills and fields of Kayah state on the border with Thailand -- a hotbed of resistance to the Myanmar military's 2021 coup.

Last year Amnesty International said Myanmar junta troops were laying landmines on a "massive scale" around villages where they are battling anti-coup fighters.
