The terrorist military forces conducted an airstrike on a school in Kwon Seik village, Shwebo Township, Sagaing Region, killing two women including a pregnant woman, according to local residents. The incident occurred around 3:10 PM on April 20, when fighter jets attacked the area without any ongoing battles, resulting in injuries to 15 other civilians.
According to a local resident, the military dropped two bombs, with one exploding while the other landed near a public well without detonating. The explosion caused severe injuries to three of the fifteen wounded civilians. The attack also damaged four school buildings and numerous residential homes in the area, with significant destruction to roofs and structures. The bombing occurred in a civilian area where there was no active conflict, demonstrating the military’s deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure.
Local residents point out that such intentional attacks on civilian areas and buildings like schools, especially when there is no active conflict, constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity that require international community intervention. The death of civilians, particularly including a pregnant woman, further demonstrates the military’s brutality. The destruction of educational facilities and civilian homes has created significant humanitarian concerns in the area, with local communities struggling to cope with the aftermath of this unprovoked attack.
