UN condemns escalating violence against Rohingya in Myanmar

INTRO:

The United Nations has denounced escalating violence between Myanmar's security forces and Rohingya Muslims in the country.

This comes after militants attacked security forces over the weekend, in response to ongoing discrimination against the Rohingya people. 

The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on Thursday to address the situation in Myanmar.
