In Ye-U Township, Sagaing Region, an airstrike by the military on Tingtain Yan village this afternoon resulted in the deaths of two young children, aged 6 months and 3 years, along with their mother. This was reported by Htu Khan Zaw (Amay Thar), the spokesperson for the People’s Defense Comrades based in Ye-U.
According to reports, the military conducted an airstrike on Tingtain Yan village without any ongoing battles in the area, leading to the fatalities of the children and their mother.
The airstrike specifically resulted in the deaths of a 6-month-old infant and a 35-year-old mother, Ma Hmone Hmone, along with a 3-year-old named Phyo Khit Thi. Currently, the villagers are fleeing the area in panic.
“This afternoon, a jet fighter from the Methila Shan base bombed near the market in Tingtain Yan village, located on the western side of Ye-U. There were no battles occurring; the military is simply killing civilians with airstrikes. Some villagers have yet to escape and remain in the village. Since the first airstrike five days ago, the villagers have been hiding and only coming out to sleep during the day. Now, they are being bombed again while they are present,” stated Htu Khan Zaw.
