Dozens killed in Myanmar military air attack in Rakhine State, UN says

Air attacks by Myanmar’s military in the western state of Rakhine this week killed dozens of people, the United Nations said, as the country continues to be mired in violence four years after a coup.

In a statement late on Friday, the UN said that military government forces hit Kyauk Ni Maw, a village in Ramree island township, killing more than 40 people and destroying about 500 homes.
