Two civilians were killed and extensive damage was caused when the military council conducted an unprovoked aerial bombardment on Sintet village in Ngazun Township, Mandalay Region, according to local residents. The attack occurred around 7:30 PM on April 16th, with military aircraft dropping bombs on the village despite there being no ongoing conflict in the area. The bombing resulted in significant damage to residential homes within the village, with local sources confirming that livestock were also killed in the attack. A local resident detailed that the aerial assault came suddenly without any preceding military engagement in the area.
In a similar incident, the military council also conducted aerial attacks on Mindat town in Chin State during the previous evening. A fighter jet that departed from the Naypyidaw Aela Air Base targeted a location in Mindat town with two bombs at approximately 5:20 PM. This attack resulted in the destruction of at least seven civilian homes, according to confirmation from Mindat-based revolutionary news sources. The military council’s actions have caused significant civilian infrastructure damage and created an atmosphere of fear among local residents.
Currently, the military council continues to conduct repeated aerial attacks on both Mindat and Kanpetlet towns, prompting revolutionary news sources to issue warnings for local civilians to remain vigilant. These deliberate aerial attacks on civilian areas, even in the absence of active conflict, continue to result in innocent civilian casualties and widespread destruction of property. The pattern of targeting civilian areas has been documented by revolutionary news sources, highlighting the military council’s ongoing campaign of violence against civilian populations in these regions.
