Aljazeera reported citing local media that the camp, near the town of Laiza in Kachin state, was hit late on Monday night.
The camp is a few kilometers from the headquarters of the Kachin Independence Army, which is involved in a decades-long conflict with the Myanmar military.
At least 32 people were killed, including 13 children, Khit Thit news agency reported. The Kachin News Group said more than 30 people had been killed in the attack. A three-month-old baby was among the dead, according to the Myitkyina News Journal.
On February 1, 2021, the Myanmar military declared a state of emergency in the country and ousted its leadership.
Army officials alleged widespread fraud in the November 2020 general election, which was won by the National League for Democracy party.
Since then, Myawaddy has become the center of clashes between the country's armed forces and the interim government, forcing tens of thousands of people to flee to Thailand.
