Local residents report that the military council conducted aerial attacks using Y-12 aircraft, dropping over 30 bombs on villages in Pauk Township, Magway Region. The attacks occurred on September 15 between 7:30 AM and 8:00 AM, targeting villages in the northwestern part of Pauk Township without any ongoing battles in the area. The deliberate aerial assault has forced civilians to flee to safer locations amid growing fears of continued attacks.
While the extent of civilian casualties from the military council’s aerial bombardment remains unconfirmed due to communication difficulties, there is significant concern among local residents about the possibility of further airstrikes. According to a local resident, the continuous bombing began in the morning hours, but the full impact on civilians cannot be verified due to disrupted communications in the area.
Additionally, military council forces stationed in Yonesar Gyi village in Thaung Tha Township have been conducting indiscriminate artillery attacks on surrounding villages. The attacks began on the evening of September 15, with forces firing heavy weapons toward areas northwest of Yonesar Gyi village. The locations of artillery impacts and potential civilian casualties are still being investigated. Due to the military council’s random artillery attacks, revolutionary forces have advised civilians to take shelter in bomb shelters. The situation highlights the ongoing pattern of military council violence against civilian populations, with forces conducting unprovoked attacks on residential areas without regard for civilian safety.
