The military council forces conducted renewed airstrikes on villages located between Thanatpin and Kyaukkyi townships in Bago Region. The attacks, which began on the morning of March 8 and continued until evening, targeted Kyaukkyi Pauk village and surrounding areas with continuous aerial bombardment, according to local residents. These airstrikes resulted in the destruction of a monastery and civilian homes in the area.
During the attacks, local civilians were forced to flee into forests and safe areas for their survival, making it currently impossible to confirm the exact extent of damage and number of casualties. According to a local resident, the aircraft conducted continuous bombing raids starting from the morning hours. The ongoing airstrikes have created a situation where residents have had to abandon their homes and seek shelter in safer locations.
Prior to this attack, on March 6, another airstrike by the military council forces had already resulted in the deaths of three civilians: Daw Htwe, age 63, from Kyaukkyi Pauk village, U Aung Myint Aye, age 55, and Daw Khin Oo, age 53, both from Kyunbin Taw village. Additionally, three other civilians were injured in that attack. The consecutive airstrikes have caused widespread fear among local residents, forcing them to abandon their homes and flee for safety, according to local sources.
