A Myanmar military airstrike in Chin State’s Mindat township has resulted in the deaths of at least eight people, including a preschool-aged child. The attack involved four bombs dropped on a densely populated village, impacting both local residents and internally displaced persons (IDPs). This incident is part of the military regime's ongoing efforts to gain territory in southern Chin State. The strike underscores the escalating violence and disregard for civilian life exhibited by the military junta following the 2021 coup. Reports indicate a significant number of casualties, with the full extent of the damage still being assessed. This latest attack raises concerns about the safety and protection of vulnerable populations caught in the conflict. International observers have condemned the use of airstrikes in civilian areas.
