Myanmar's military junta has continued to bomb parts of the war-torn country following the major earthquake there, which has killed more than 1,600 people.
The UN has described the attacks as "completely outrageous and unacceptable".
Special Rapporteur Tom Andrews told the BBC that it was "nothing short of incredible" that the military was continuing to "drop bombs when you are trying to rescue people" after the earthquake.
He called on the military regime, which seized power in a coup nearly four years ago to stop all military operations.
"Anyone who has influence on the military needs to step up the pressure and make it very clear that this is not acceptable," he said.
"I'm calling upon the junta to just stop, stop any of its military operations," he added.
BBC Burmese confirmed that seven people were killed in an air strike in Naungcho in northern Shan state. This strike took place around 15:30 local time, less than three hours after the quake struck.

Ah, yes, the 'U' 'N'
The only thing 'united' about so much of the U N is their hatred of: Jews, Christians, Free Enterprise, and Freedom in general. Just like the democRATS, they practice their Two Minutes Of Hate.....every two minutes.
Attacks on Jews, Christians etc are never 'outrageous' in their twisted world.
never let a crisis go to waste
(Correction - the report in my link is from last month, but the bombing it covers is from last year - my bad.)
On target.
