Over 100 killed in regime attacks since Myanmar Thingyan festival

A motorized paraglider attack killed three civilians, including a nine-year-old, and injured at least five others, in Thanbo village of Taungtha Township, Mandalay Region, on Monday.

“There was neither [People’s Defence Force] camp nor ongoing fighting [with regime forces] in the village,” a People’s Defence Force (PDF) member told DVB.
