Appears not just smoke bombs but some are telling me that it's tear gas fired in #Myitkyina northern #Myanmar #Kachin state. During 1 live stream, I also saw a group of citizens running to a well to wash their faces/eyes and they were visibly choking #WhatishappeninginMyamar https://t.co/m7SXxsgU7I pic.twitter.com/O1gCig3xTH
