Resistance attacks air force base in Bago Region

A resistance group calling itself the Brave Warriors for Myanmar claimed that it launched 11 rockets at the Kaytumadi Air Force Base in Taungoo Township of Bago Region which killed 10, including two air force officers with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and injured at least 12 others on Sunday. Taungoo is located 134 miles (216 km) north of the region’s capital Bago. 

“This attack was in response to the military’s bombing and killing of civilians, including the airstrike on the school in Ohhteintwin village of Depayin Township that killed children and teachers,” a spokesperson from Brave Warriors for Myanmar told DVB. He added that three aircraft used to launch airstrikes against resistance forces were destroyed by rockets.
