Mandalay to Myitkyina Road Airstrike Injures Four

Four people including a child were injured in a junta airstrike on the main Mandalay to Myitkyina road near Doepin Village in Kawlin Township, Sagaing Region, on 14 July 2025.

The 5:00 pm airstrike on the main road that connects Mandalay City, Myanmar’s second largest city, to Myitkyina City, the Kachin State capital to the north, injured four people, one of whom was a child and caused fires that destroyed two oil tankers and a roadside diner, according to local resistance forces.

A resistance force member who is active in the border area between Sagaing Region and Kachin State said: “If we pinpoint the location [of the airstrike] it’s near the border between Kawlin and Tigyaing townships in Sagaing Region. There’s a small village there called Doepin, and that’s where the airstrike hit. Two men, a woman, and a child were injured, and we’ve received information that one of them is in a serious condition.”
