Airstrike Kills Five Children in Mogok Town

A junta airstrike on 9 July 2025 killed five children and seriously injured a further five adults, in Mandalay’s Mogok Town.

A junta fighter jet bombed Panmahteik Ward, near the eastern entrance of Mogok Town at approximately 8:00 pm on 9 July.

That evening, after the attack, a Panmahteik Ward resident said to NMG: “The two children who died instantly were brothers. Their house was directly hit by the bomb, and nearby houses were damaged by shrapnel. Sadly, both boys died on the spot. Among those injured are [three] other children whose conditions are very serious and they urgently need blood.”
