Two civilian women were injured in an aerial attack carried out by the military council in Kani Township, Sagaing Region. According to local residents, the military council conducted two separate airstrikes around 11:20 AM on March 18, targeting civilians who were working in farmlands between Umma village and Yin village. The attack resulted in injuries to two young women who were working in their hillside farms at the time of the incident. Local sources confirmed that while the women sustained injuries, their conditions were not life-threatening.
A local resident reported that the military council’s aircraft conducted two separate bombing raids during the morning hours, specifically targeting areas where civilians were engaged in agricultural work. This incident represents another deliberate attack by the military council against civilians, violating international humanitarian laws. The military council has been conducting frequent aerial attacks throughout the Sagaing Region, resulting in numerous civilian casualties and deaths. These attacks have created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty among local residents, who must continue their daily work despite the constant threat of aerial bombardment.
The military council’s brutal actions have resulted in significant loss of life, property, and livelihood for local residents, while continuing to violate basic human rights. The targeting of civilian farmers working in their fields demonstrates the military council’s disregard for civilian life and international humanitarian principles. These attacks have severely disrupted the daily lives of local communities, forcing them to work under constant fear and anxiety. The incident in Kani Township is part of a broader pattern of violence against civilians by the military council, which continues to use airstrikes as a weapon of terror against its own people.
