32 killed in drone strike by Myanmar army on refugee camp
In a devastating incident near Myanmar's border with China, an artillery strike has resulted in the tragic loss of at least 32 lives, including innocent women and children. This horrifying event marks one of the deadliest attacks on civilians since the resurgence of military rule in the region.
The heart-wrenching incident unfolded close to midnight on Monday within Kachin State, as reported by credible sources. The shelling targeted a refugee camp situated approximately 5 kilometers (3 miles) from a base operated by the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) in the border town of Laiza. The KIA has been engaged in a prolonged conflict with Myanmar's military for several years.
Local Kachin media outlets have reported a death toll of 32 and have attributed the artillery strike to Myanmar's military.
This tragic incident takes place against the backdrop of Myanmar's ongoing turmoil following the coup in 2021. In the aftermath of a brutal crackdown by security forces, ethnic minority armies and a resilient resistance movement have been engaged in a determined struggle to challenge military rule. As a result of this protracted conflict, more than 1 million people have been forced to flee their homes, according to the United Nations.
