Sagaing Region resistance groups told The Irrawaddy that five junta fighter jets from the Tada-U and Meiktila airbases bombed a convoy of trucks that had been trapped for days near the Taung Yin junction due to clashes along the Sagaing–Shwebo road.

“The road was crowded with war-displaced people and travelers when the airstrikes began. Five fighter jets bombed the area,” a witness told The Irrawaddy.
