An airstrike by Myanmar’s army on a village under the control of an armed ethnic minority group in western Rakhine state has resulted in a tragic loss of life and destruction. The attack, which occurred in Kyauk Ni Maw village on Ramree island, led to the deaths of approximately 40 civilians and left at least 20 others injured. The bombing triggered a fire that engulfed hundreds of houses in the area.
The military has not officially acknowledged the attack, and due to limited communication access in the region, the situation in the village remains difficult to verify independently.
