  "account": "Manila, the capital of the Philippines, voiced concern over an airstrike in Myanmar's Rakhine state that resulted in fatalities, injuries, and widespread destruction. As the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), the Philippines stands prepared to assist Myanmar and facilitate discussions within the regional bloc to find a solution that is Myanmar-owned and led. The Philippines, closely monitoring the situation, expressed concern over the attacks that left 50 people dead and dozens more wounded following the Kyauktaw airstrike on Monday. This incident marks the deadliest such attack in Rakhine since a hospital bombing in December, following a 2021 coup that sparked a nationwide civil war in Myanmar. The conflict has claimed around 100,000 lives and displaced over 3.5 million people in the Southeast Asian nation.",
