Myanmar’s military airstrike kills at least 33 in Rakhine state
At least 36 others were injured in the strike near a market in Kyauktaw, according to the Arakan Army.
In Rakhine state, western Myanmar, a military airstrike resulted in at least 33 fatalities and 36 injuries, according to rebel group the Arakan Army and local aid worker Wai Hun Aung. The incident occurred near a market in the town of Kyauktaw on Monday. The Arakan Army and Wai Hun Aung stated that the attack took place in a town far from the conflict, emphasizing that Kyauktaw is a riverside town located in the north of the state.
The Myanmar government has not yet commented on the airstrike. This is one of the deadliest such incidents in Rakhine since an aerial attack on a hospital in western Myanmar last December, which killed at least 30 people.
