The Karen National Union (KNU) Central has reported that one civilian was injured and two houses along with a school were damaged due to airstrikes and artillery attacks by the military council in Shwegyin Township (Saw Htee Township), Bago Region. On March 15 at 1:50 PM, fighter jets from the military council’s air force based in Naypyidaw conducted an airstrike on Thettunkone village in Shwegyin Township, dropping two 300-pound bombs. The attack resulted in severe injuries to a 50-year-old male resident of Thettunkone village and caused significant damage to one house and the village school.
Additionally, on March 14 at 1:54 PM, the military council’s Infantry Battalion 264 fired three 120mm artillery shells into Kanyin Kyun village in Shwegyin Township, resulting in the destruction of one house. According to the KNU’s statement, the military council forces continue to target civilians in the Klerwehtoo District with violent attacks, causing residents to live in constant fear for their lives and safety as they struggle to survive day by day.
The military council’s airstrikes and artillery attacks have resulted in the loss of lives, homes, and properties of local residents. The unstable security situation has forced many villagers to flee their homes and seek refuge elsewhere. Local sources report that the military council’s aerial attacks, in particular, have severely disrupted the daily lives of civilians in the area, causing widespread destruction and displacement. The continuous targeting of civilian areas by the military council has created an atmosphere of terror and uncertainty among the local population, who are struggling to maintain their basic survival while living under the constant threat of attacks.
