Myanmar junta bombs villages in three states

Two children were among the civilians killed in junta air force attacks on Pauktaw Township, Rakhine State on Thursday, according to local sources, part of an ongoing aerial bombing campaign that hit three states this week. 

Two other villagers were killed and several sustained injuries in the same Pauktaw Township villages, located on islands in an estuary east of the Rakhine State capital of Sittwe, one of the last territories in Rakhine State that remains under junta control.
