Ethnic alliance urges international intervention to halt Myanmar military’s airstrikes on civilians

Mizzima

The Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) and the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) issued a joint statement on 16 December calling on the United Nations and the international community to stop the junta’s ongoing aerial bombardments.

The groups, members of the Three Brotherhood Alliance, formally accused the military of committing war crimes by systematically targeting civilian populations, including hospitals, religious buildings, and schools.

The statement highlighted a series of devastating attacks, most notably the 10 December bombing of Mrauk-U General Hospital on International Human Rights Day, which killed 33 people, including patients and medical staff.
