Junta air strikes on the villages in southeast Myanmar have destroyed a hospital and forced more than 8,000 inhabitants of their home, leaving them in an urgent need, according to an insurgent administration opposed to the army.
On Monday, Junta’s forces extended their ceasefire until the end of May, citing the need to help restoration efforts after the country’s magnitude of magnitude 7.7 of the country. Military forces have launched hundreds of attacks across the country since then, killing more than 200 people.
The heavy artillery drawn from the Bago region and the state border of my state have left thousands of people in food, clothing and refuge, the Karen National Union said on Wednesday, in a statement published on Wednesday.
In the canton of Kyaikto of the state of my state on April 28, the Junta forces dropped a 300 pound bomb on the village of Pyin Kone Kone, destroying a rubber plantation. On May 2, Junta Infantry Battalion 207 and Artillery Battalion 310 surrounded and pulled heavy artillery in the village of Yae Kyaw, according to the Knu.
On May 4, the Junta bombed the HPA Lan Taung Village hospital twice, destroying it.
Several displaced groups have not been able to return home due to constant attacks, leaving an increasing number of displaced people, said NAI AUE MON, program director of the Monland Human Rights Foundation, which promotes democracy and peace in Myanmar.
“The junta attacks all the time with strong artillery, a fighter plane and drones. The effect is that the number of fleeing people increases, he gradually,” he said. “Before, the figures were only about 700 or 800 displaced people. Then it became 2,000 and 3,000. “
Some residents have fled in areas controlled by groups of ethnic insurgents along the border, while others went to neighboring villages, he said. Although these villages were not affected in the past, the recent customs clearance operations of the Junta troops targeting the rebel groups did not give them the choice.
The KNU did not say if the attacks had led to victims.
Radio Free Asia contacted Junta’s spokesperson, Major-General Zaw Min Tun for more information on attacks, but he did not win the phone.
