A World Health Organization vehicle carrying swabs from patients to be tested for coronavirus came under gunfire in Myanmar’s western Rakhine state and the driver was killed, the United Nations said on Tuesday.

It did not say who carried out the attack in a region where fighting between the army and Arakan Army insurgents has intensified despite global calls for a ceasefire over the pandemic that has killed five and caused 119 infections in Myanmar.

The driver, Pyae Sone Win Maung, died in the state’s Minbya township on Monday, the United Nations office in Myanmar said in a Facebook post.

“The WHO colleague was driving a marked UN vehicle from Sittwe to Yangon, transporting COVID19 surveillance samples in support of the Ministry of Health and Sports,” it added.

Both Myanmar’s army and the Arakan Army denied responsibility for the attack and accused each other.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly condemned the attack, calling for a full and transparent investigation and for the perpetrators to be brought to justice, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
