The military council forces conducted renewed airstrikes on villages located between Thone Pa Pin and Kyauk Gyi townships in Bago Region. The attacks, which began in the morning of March 8 and continued until evening, targeted Kyauk Gyi 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.
Local civilians have been forced to flee to safety due to fears for their lives from the attacks. The exact number of civilian casualties remains unconfirmed at present. According to a local resident, the military aircraft conducted continuous bombing raids starting from the morning, specifically targeting Kyauk Gyi Pauk village and nearby communities. The ongoing attacks have caused widespread destruction and displacement of local residents who are seeking shelter in safer locations.
Additionally, on March 6, previous military airstrikes in the same area resulted in the deaths of three civilians: Daw Htwe, age 63, from Kyauk Gyi Pauk village, and U Aung Myint Aye, age 55, and Daw Khin Oo, age 53, from Myaung Taw village. Three other civilians were also injured in these attacks. These brutal assaults by military council forces on civilian populations have led to significant loss of life and property, while severely deteriorating the security situation in the region. The continuous targeting of civilian areas has created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty among local communities, forcing many to abandon their homes and livelihoods in search of safety.
