A village in Mindat Station- 1 was attacked by the military council four times with 2 jet fighters in about 20 minutes, Mindat resident Kohar Kalay said.
There were no battles in the village that was bombed by the military council, and there were no meetings or resistance forces, and there were only civilian homes at the junction of the village.
The village has scattered houses. It was built by gathering small villages.
Salai Yaw Mann said that the military council’s intense aerial attacks have forced all the residents from the villages to flee their homes.

The People’s Administration has issued a further warning to the local community to avoid gatherings at schools, religious buildings, hospitals, clinics and village halls and holding traditional events and to build trenches and bomb shelters.
Two members of CDF-Mindat and three civilians were killed and 31 others wounded by the military council’s airstrikes and shelling in Mindat Township in April and May.
In April, the junta’s airstrikes destroyed Wanma Thu hospital, two churches, one school and 24 civilian houses in Mindat Township.
