Two civilians were reportedly killed and at least six others injured in a junta airstrike on Mrauk-U town in Arakan State on the night of November 12, according to local sources.
At around 9:00 p.m., the military junta reportedly dropped two bombs in Kyetzay Ward, striking a school and landing near a monastery. The attack caused casualties among civilians in the area.
"There was a loud explosion. The bombs landed right between the Kyetzay school and the monastery," a local woman from Mrauk-U town said.
The injured victims are receiving emergency medical treatment, with two reportedly in critical condition.
The latest attack follows a November 1 airstrike on a temporary maternity ward in Mrauk-U that killed five people, including a newborn baby, and injured nine others.
Local residents have condemned the repeated airstrikes on civilian residential areas and public infrastructure.
"Airstrikes have become much more terrifying. They bomb hospitals, they bomb schools, and now they don't even spare monasteries. There is no sense of security left," another Mrauk-U resident said.
Recent junta airstrikes have hit civilian-populated areas and public facilities in Arakan State, including healthcare facilities and schools, raising serious concerns about the safety of civilians.
