. The attack resulted in the “loss of scores of innocent civilians and injuring many more, including children and pregnant women,” the National Unity Government ’s Ministry of Labour said in a statement, describing it as a “heinous act” that constitutes “a war crime.” Local news outlet The Irrawaddy reported that a junta aircraft dropped two bombs and fired on the village while people were gathered for the opening of a new town office.
