Two civilians were injured and temple buildings were damaged when the terrorist military conducted an airstrike on a temple compound in Sintkaing village, Wetlet Township, Sagaing Region. The attack occurred at approximately 9:25 AM on March 20, when a fighter jet from Tatmadaw Air Base in Tataoo conducted two separate airstrikes on Sintkaing village. During these airstrikes, one temple building was destroyed and two civilians sustained non-life-threatening injuries, according to local sources.
The military’s airstrikes took place at 9:25 AM and 9:30 AM, reportedly using what are believed to be 100-pound bombs. Local residents stated that the military council, which claims to be religiously devout, specifically targets religious buildings and innocent civilians. The deliberate targeting of religious structures and civilians has caused significant fear and security concerns among local residents. The terrorist military continues to target civilian populations and religious buildings across Myanmar, with Sagaing Region particularly experiencing frequent airstrikes, artillery shelling, and acts of arson.
The airstrike on the Sintkaing village temple compound represents another instance of the military council’s war crimes and lack of humanitarian consideration, according to local residents. The military’s ongoing campaign of violence against civilian targets, particularly religious sites, demonstrates a pattern of deliberate attacks against non-military targets. This incident adds to the growing list of human rights violations and attacks on civilian infrastructure by the military council, which continues to operate with complete disregard for civilian lives and religious sanctuaries in its campaign of violence across Myanmar.
