Myanmar - April 2023

The military junta launched one of the deadliest air assaults since it came into power, killing more than 100 civilians, including children, who were attending a ceremonial opening of a local office (Kanbalu’s People’s Administration Team) of the National Unity Government (NUG). The targeted village is in the Sagaing region, which has become a place of anti-regime resistance. The airstrike was condemned by the ASEAN Chair, the United Nations, the NUG, and others.
