Myanmar military airstrikes kill dozens in Rakhine village: UN

The country’s civilian shadow government and the Arakan Army, a Rakhine-based ethnic militia, also reported the airstrikes.

Dozens of people have been killed in an airstrike by Myanmar’s military government in the country’s western state of Rakhine, the United Nations has said.

The attack comes as Bangladesh’s neighbour is nearing its fourth year of civil war.

The country’s civilian shadow government and the Arakan Army (AA), a Rakhine-based ethnic militia, also reported the airstrikes by government forces.
In a statement released late on Friday, the junta said the junta carried out an airstrike on Kyauk Ni Mao village near the town of Yanbei on Wednesday afternoon, destroying about 500 homes and killing more than 40 people.

The National Unity Government of Myanmar’s opposition parties reported almost the same information.

Reuters could not independently verify the reports. A spokesman for Myanmar’s military did not respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Myanmar’s military junta has rejected allegations of atrocities, saying it is fighting “terrorists”.

The AA released the names of 26 Muslim villagers and said they were killed in the airstrike. Another 12 people were wounded in the attack, the AA said.

Unrest has been brewing across Myanmar since the military seized power in 2021 after overthrowing the elected government of Nobel Prize-winning leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s party. Since the military government suppressed anti-coup protests through bloodshed, opponents of the junta have taken up arms and started an armed rebellion.
