The terrorist military council conducted an aerial attack using a helicopter gunship on Saytaw village in Thaung Tha Township, Mandalay Region, resulting in one civilian being injured and four houses being completely destroyed by fire. According to local residents, the unprovoked attack occurred in the early morning of April 9, deliberately targeting the village without any justification. During the attack, villagers fled in terror, and the injured person was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.
The military council frequently carries out such aerial attacks on civilian residential areas, resulting in casualties among innocent civilians. In the attack on Saytaw village, four houses were completely destroyed, and several other homes sustained varying degrees of damage. Local residents report living in constant fear and insecurity, with their lives and properties under continuous threat. These brutal attacks by the military council forces have severely disrupted the daily lives of local residents and created ongoing security concerns for the civilian population.
According to local sources, this attack is not the first instance of military violence in the area, as similar attacks have occurred previously. The military council forces often target civilian areas under the pretext of engaging with People’s Defense Forces in the region. These attacks have resulted in numerous civilians being forced to flee their homes and seek refuge elsewhere, creating a significant displacement crisis in the area. The continuous threat of aerial attacks has created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty among the local population, who are struggling to maintain their normal lives under such dangerous conditions.
