Two civilians were injured and temple buildings were damaged when the terrorist military council conducted an aerial bombardment on the temple compound in Sint Kaing village, Wetlet Township, Sagaing Region. According to local sources, a fighter jet from Tada-U Air Base conducted two separate airstrikes on Sint Kaing village on March 20 at around 9:25 AM.
The airstrikes were carried out in two waves, with the first attack at 9:25 AM and the second at 9:30 AM, reportedly using what are estimated to be 100-pound bombs. The attacks resulted in the destruction of one temple building and left two civilians with non-life-threatening injuries. Local residents reported that the military council, which often claims to be deeply religious, has been deliberately targeting religious buildings and innocent civilians.
This attack on religious structures serves as further evidence of the military council’s brutality, according to local residents. The military council has been systematically carrying out attacks against civilians, regularly targeting religious buildings, schools, hospitals, and civilian homes. This incident demonstrates the ongoing pattern of the military council’s violence against civilian infrastructure and religious sites, despite their claims of protecting religious institutions. The targeting of temples and civilians in Sint Kaing village represents another instance of the military council’s continued campaign of violence against its own people.
