One killed and two injured by airstrikes on Gwa Township in southern Rakhine State

Gwa Township residents told DVB that one civilian was killed and two others were injured by an airstrike on Monday carried out by the Myanmar Air Force on Ahtetbawin village in Gwa, located 250 miles (402 km) south of the Arakan State capital Sittwe, which has been under Arakan Army (AA) control since Dec. 29. 

“A fighter jet dropped bombs onto the village at about 1 am, thinking that AA troops were inside the village. But it killed innocent civilians,” a Gwa resident told DVB on the condition of anonymity.
