Myanmar’s junta launched aerial bombardments on Sangkha and Mazutyan villages in Hpakant Township, Kachin State, resulting in the deaths of eight civilians, including women, and injuring several others, according to local residents.


A local witness reported that a jet fighter bombed and machine-gunned the area around 11 am on 13 January.


“The situation in Mazutyan is worse. The target was a jade mining area. There are many deaths and injuries. It’s devastating to witness,” he said.
