Myanmar Air Force strikes flood-hit Sagaing Region as military blockades emergency aid

The Myanmar Air Force carried out three airstrikes on Khin-U Township in Sagaing Region on Tuesday, targeting an area already reeling from serious flooding. While no casualties were reported from the Khin-U strikes, three military fighter jets flew reconnaissance sorties over neighboring Wetlet, Shwebo, and Sagaing towns.

The four townships—located 50 to 70 miles (80 to 112 km) northeast and east of the region’s capital Monywa—have been partially administered by opposition the People’s Defense Force (PDF) since 2022.
