A Myanmar military aerial assault in Depayin Township, Sagaing Region, has resulted in the deaths of a mother and her three daughters. The attack highlights a disturbing trend of escalating violence against civilians within Sagaing’s areas of strong resistance to the military regime. Details remain scarce, but the incident underscores the increasing frequency with which the Myanmar military is employing air power against populated villages. This latest strike adds to the growing toll of civilian casualties reported since the February 2021 coup. The incident in Depayin Township is indicative of the wider crackdown occurring throughout Sagaing Region, a key center of armed opposition. International observers have repeatedly condemned the Myanmar military's tactics and called for accountability for human rights violations. The attack is expected to further inflame tensions and potentially intensify the conflict in the region.
