Airstrike Bomb Shelling Attack in the Crowded Area of Kyaukme Downtown Kills 4, Injures 4
Today, June 24, at around 5 pm, the Terror Military Council reportedly carried out an airstrike near a mosque in Ward 3 and a restaurant in Ward 4 in the downtown area in Kyaukme.
The airstrike killed two men and two women, injured four civilians, and damaged more than 10 civilian homes, according to the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA).
A resident of Kyaukme said, “Right now, people are not allowed to enter the area where the bombs were dropped, the area where the weapons were dropped. The area near the mosque is not a place where any group lives. It is right in the center of the city, in Ward 3. Some people said one died, some said 4-5 people were killed, but we can’t confirm it yet. It is also a civilian house near the Sanpya restaurant. We don’t know if it hit the Sanpya house directly, but they didn’t let us see.”
