ISTANBUL (AA) – A junta airstrike on Friday killed at least 18 civilians, including children, and injured 20 others in Rakhine State in western Myanmar, the Irrawaddy news outlet reported.
The junta forces bombed a private boarding school in Thayat Tabin Village in Arakan Army-controlled Kyauktaw township, Rakhine (Arakan) state.
Myanmar has witnessed prolonged ethnic armed clashes since the junta took power in 2021.
However, the junta has decided to hold general elections on Dec. 28 later this year.
