Mrauk-U, November 13.
Two civilians, including a woman, were killed and eight others, including a seven-year-old child, were injured when Myanmar’s military junta carried out an airstrike on Kyat Market Ward in Mrauk-U, a town under the control of the Arakan Army (AA).
On November 12, the junta deliberately launched an airstrike targeting residential homes, a Buddhist monastery, and an area near a primary school in Kyat Market Ward.
The attack killed Ma Nu Nu Win, 23, and Ko Zaw Hein Thu, 22, both residents of Kyat Market Ward. The eight injured victims are currently receiving emergency medical treatment.
The injured victims were identified as Maung Aung Thant Hein, 7; Ko Myo Naing Tun, 22; Ko Myo Chit Maung, 21; Ko Min Phyo Tun, 29; Daw Lin Thuzar, 30; Daw Hnin Oo, 33; Daw Nu Nu Aye, 61; and U Maung Win Sein, 68.
As airstrikes by Myanmar’s military junta on towns under Arakan Army control continue to occur frequently, the Arakan Army has warned residents to remain vigilant against possible air attacks.
