The military council forces conducted an aerial attack on a monastery and religious hall in Nan Cho village, Wuntho Township, Sagaing Region, according to local sources. The attack occurred around 8:30 PM on April 19, when military jets deliberately targeted religious buildings within the village. While the monastery and religious hall suffered significant damage from the bombardment, fortunately, there were no reported casualties in the incident. Local sources confirmed that the military council forces specifically targeted these religious structures in what appears to be a deliberate attack on community institutions.
According to local residents, these attacks on religious buildings are viewed as deliberate attempts by the military council to demoralize the local population. The aerial attacks have created an atmosphere of fear and anxiety among villagers, who now live in constant concern for their daily safety. These brutal actions by the military council forces have severely disrupted the daily lives of local civilians and created significant hardships for the community. The targeting of religious buildings has particularly affected the spiritual and social fabric of the village, as these structures serve as important community centers.
Local sources have confirmed that the military council forces have repeatedly targeted villages and religious buildings throughout Sagaing Region this year. These attacks have resulted in extensive destruction of civilian property and have led to an increasing number of internally displaced persons. The ongoing aerial attacks by military council forces have forced many local residents to flee their homes, leading to significant humanitarian challenges including food shortages and difficulties in securing basic necessities. The situation has created a growing crisis in the region, with many families struggling to maintain their livelihoods while dealing with the constant threat of military attacks. The destruction of religious buildings, which traditionally serve as places of refuge and community gathering, has particularly impacted the social and spiritual well-being of the affected communities.
