  "account": "Myanmar's military conducted an airstrike near a market in the western Rakhine state on Monday, resulting in at least 33 deaths and 36 injuries, according to the Arakan Army and a rescue official. The attack took place in Kyauktaw township, a strategic location approximately 340 kilometers west of Mandalay. The Arakan Army, an ethnic armed group seeking autonomy for Rakhine's ethnic minority, confirmed the incident, stating that the market was the state's principal wholesale center, attracting both vendors and shoppers from across Myanmar. Rescue official Wai Hun Aung expressed that this was one of the most severe airstrikes in the region. The military has accused the Arakan Army of terrorism and has previously maintained that it only targets legitimate military objectives.",
