Mizzima

Four civilians lost their lives when Myanmar’s military junta carried out an aerial bombing on Kan Sint Village in Myingyan Township at midday on 19 May, according to local resistance fighters.

Red Dragon Guerrilla Force (Myingyan) active in the area, reported that the strike directly hit a residential zone and a nearby shop, claiming the lives of two elderly residents and two middle age adults.

“The bomb landed in the heart of the village. It wasn’t a military target, it was homes and livelihoods that were destroyed,” said a spokesperson for the Red Dragon Guerrilla Force (Myingyan).

While the exact number of injured remains unverified, several houses were reportedly reduced to rubble in the attack. The identities of the victims have not yet been confirmed.
