Two civilians, including a child, were injured in aerial bombings by the military council in Ban Pyayt and Koe Inn villages in Tanintharyi Township, Tanintharyi Region, despite no active ground fighting in the area, according to the Myeik District Military column.
At around 11 am on 4 November, a figher jet from Myeik air base dropped four bombs near Koe Inn village and two bombs in Ban Pyayt village, followed by machine gun attacks by the junta.
The junta’s aerial bombings injured a 10-year-old child and a 22-year-old named Maung Wunna Kyaw. The attacks also destroyed two civilian homes in Koe Inn village.
There were no reported casualties in Ban Pyayt village, according to officials from the Myeik District Military Column.
The two villages targeted by the junta’s airstrikes—Koe Inn and Ban Pyayt—are located more than five miles apart, and the revolutionary forces are not active in either of these areas, according to a spokesperson from the Myeik District Military Column.
The junta’s airstrike injured three locals from Lae Thit village in Tanintharyi Township on 26 October.
According to the report by Nyan Lynn Thit Analytica, a research organization, between May and August this year, the junta’s airstrikes killed 455 civilians and nearly 820 others across the country.
