The attacks, which began on 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. The 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 currently remains unconfirmed. According to a local resident, military aircraft conducted continuous bombing raids throughout the day, targeting Kyauk Gyi Pauk village and nearby communities. The ongoing airstrikes have created an atmosphere of fear and instability in the region, with residents seeking shelter in safer locations.
