Myanmar’s military acknowledged on Saturday that it had carried out an airstrike on a hospital in the western state of Rakhine, which a local rescuer and media reports said killed more than 30 people, including patients, medical workers and children.
In a statement published by the state-run Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper, the military’s information office said armed groups, including the ethnic Arakan Army (AA) and the People’s Defence Force, pro-democracy militias formed after the army takeover in 2021, used the hospital as their base.
