Last week, a group of men destroyed a mosque in central Myanmar in a dispute over its construction.
The UN has warned the government led by Nobel Peace Prize Aung San Suu Kyi to crack down on religious violence.
The latest attack took place on Friday, when a group of villagers stormed the mosque and set it on fire.
Reports said they attacked police officers guarding it, and stopped the fire brigade from reaching the site.
"The problem started because the mosque was built near a (Buddhist) pagoda. The Muslim people refused to destroy the building when the Buddhists discovered it," Moe Lwin, a local police officer, told the AFP news agency.
The situation had now calmed he said, adding that no arrests had been made.
