Newborn among 15 killed as Myanmar military strikes maternity clinic and school: Reuters
The strikes hit a maternity clinic and other civilian sites as the junta steps up its campaign to retake territory from resistance groups.
- On Monday, Myanmar military airstrikes killed at least 15 people over the weekend, including a newborn baby, across multiple locations in Rakhine state, according to ethnic armed groups and rights monitors.
- The military-backed government claims it is waging a legitimate campaign against "terrorists" while escalating airstrikes to retake territory lost to resistance groups that now control large areas of the country.
- Sunday airstrikes across four Rakhine townships killed at least 12 people and wounded 32. Mrauk-U-based aid worker Wai Hun Aung reported the newborn was "crushed and killed when the building collapsed from the blast."
- Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul urged Myanmar to exercise caution as the conflict spills over the border. A strike on a Loikaw school in Kayah killed three students and wounded five.
- President Min Aung Hlaing's forces, supported by China, India, and Russia, increasingly rely on airstrikes powered by jet fuel obtained mostly from Iran. The civil war has displaced more than 3.5 million people and killed 100,000 since the 2021 coup.
