At least 50 people were killed in central Myanmar on Tuesday in an air strike by the military on an event attended by opponents to its rule, according to media and members of a local resistance movement.
Citing residents in the Sagaing region, BBC Burmese, Radio Free Asia , and the Irrawaddy news portal reported between 50 and 100 people, including civilians, had died in the attack.
A member of the local People's Defense Force , an anti-junta militia, told Reuters fighter jets had fired on a ceremony held to open their local office. Tuesday's incident could be one of the deadliest among a string of air strikes since a jet attacked a concert in October, killing at least 50 civilians, local singers and members of an armed ethnic minority group in Kachin State.
