Myanmar’s military is accused of launching an airstrike on a camp for displaced persons in the northern state of Kachin that killed more than 30 people, including 13 children
Myanmar’s military was accused of launching an airstrike on a camp for displaced persons in the northern state of Kachin late Monday that killed more than 30 people, including 13 children, a human rights group and local media said.
After peaceful demonstrations were put down with lethal force, many opponents of military rule took up arms, and large parts of the country are now embroiled in conflict. The military government in the past year has stepped up the use of airstrikes in combat against two enemies — the armed pro-democracy Peoples Defense Forces, which formed after the 2021 takeover, and ethnic minority groups such as the Kachin that have been fighting for greater autonomy for decades.
