In addition to the fatalities, eight others were wounded,
according to Xinhua news agency.
Shortly after the incident Friday, China sent fighter jets
to patrol over their shared border.
The jets are there to "track, monitor, warn and chase
away" Myanmar military planes, China's air force told state media.
China summoned Myanmar's ambassador in Beijing after the
incident in the border city of Lincang.
Liu Zhenmin, the vice foreign minister for China, called on
Myanmar to investigate and bring those behind the attack to justice.
