Children, IDPs among civilians killed by Myanmar junta’s New Year’s Eve airstrikes

Several civilians including a three-year-old and a five-year-old were killed yesterday as the military regime’s air force continued its bombing campaign across several states and regions despite the New Year’s Eve holiday. 

The three-year-old child died during an afternoon airstrike on an internally displaced persons’ (IDP) camp in Karenni (Kayah) State’s Loikaw Township.
