A Myanmar military junta airstrike killed four people near Pinlebu after commanders from the Battalion No. 9 and Battalion No. 12 of the Border Guard Force escaped from a village controlled by the National Unity Government (NUG). The commanders were receiving medical treatment in the NUG-controlled area prior to their escape. The junta launched the airstrike the following day, resulting in civilian casualties. Details regarding the circumstances of the commanders' escape remain limited. This incident highlights the escalating violence in Myanmar following the 2021 coup and the ongoing conflict between the military junta and various resistance groups. The NUG, formed in opposition to the junta, provides a base for those opposing the military regime. This attack is the latest in a series of strikes targeting areas associated with anti-junta forces.
