Myanmar Junta Air Strike on Hospital Kills 34, Aid Worker Says
The airstrike killed 31 people and wounded 68 as Myanmar's military intensifies attacks on rebel-held Rakhine ahead of December 28 elections, worsening the humanitarian crisis, officials said.
- On Dec 11, 2025, a Myanmar military air strike struck Mrauk U General Hospital in Rakhine state, killing at least 34 people and leaving the hospital in ruins, aid worker Wai Hun Aung said.
- Amid preparations for polls beginning this month, the Myanmar military stepped up air attacks in a withering offensive to retake rebel-held areas, with elections set to start on Dec 28.
- Aid worker Wai Hun Aung said a military jet dropped a 1,000-pound bomb on the 300-bed Mrauk U General Hospital, collapsing wards and leaving about 68 wounded and at least 20 shrouded bodies outside.
- Hospitals and aid groups say health services across Rakhine have been suspended after the strike, remaining patients were moved to a safe location, and local organisers reported dozens of fatalities with bodies laid out overnight.
- Conflict monitors report a sharp rise in junta air strikes this year, with 2,165 conducted from January to late November, while the Arakan Army controls all but three of Rakhine's 17 townships and rebels vow to block polls starting Dec 28.
