Myanmar Air Force bombs Ngapali as airstrikes intensify in Rakhine State

The Myanmar Air Force launched a multi-hour aerial bombardment targeting the coastal tourist town of Ngapali in Arakan State’s Thandwe Township on Monday, forcing residents to take cover as fighter jets circled overhead.

The Arakan Army (AA) confirmed the Monday attacks, which targeted multiple locations across the coastal resort area. The strikes represent the latest wave in an escalating air campaign against liberated zones in southern Arakan State.
