Junta bombs a school in central Myanmar, kills at least 17 students

Junta forces bombed a school in central Myanmar, killing more than a dozen children, the country’s exiled civilian administration told Radio Free Asia on Monday.

A jet fired at Sagaing region’s Oe Htein Kwin village in Tabayin township, which is under rebel control.

“As far as we know now, 17 young students have died and more than 20 were injured. Some are still missing because of the bomb, so the death toll could be higher,” said Nay Bone Latt, a spokesperson for the prime minister’s office of the National Unity Government.
