MYANMAR’S military has carried out a paraglider strike on a village that killed at least 24 people, including children, and wounded more than 50 others, according to amember ofa resistance group.
-
The Monday night attack was carried out by a motorised paraglider and targeted a village in the country’s central Sagaing region that was celebrating a Buddhist festival that included a rally calling for the release of political prisoners held by Myanmar’s military government.
Myanmar is in a civil war that began after the army seized power in February 2021 from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi.
Much of the country, including the village of Bon To village where the attack took place, is under the control of resistance forces. The area is 55 miles west of Mandalay, the country’s second-largest city.
