Myanmar Military Airstrike in Rakhine Kills at Least 33, Injures Dozens
A Myanmar military airstrike on a market and nearby bridge in Kyauktaw, Rakhine state, killed at least 33 people and injured 36, according to the Arakan Army and local aid worker Wai Hun Aung. The area, controlled by the Arakan Army, is reportedly far from active fighting. This incident is among the deadliest airstrikes in the region since a December attack on a hospital. Myanmar has been in civil conflict since a 2021 military coup, with ongoing clashes between the military and ethnic armed groups.
