Myanmar Airstrike Kills Dozens in Rebel Market Attack

An airstrike on a busy market in a rebel-controlled area of Myanmar has resulted in the deaths of at least 50 civilians, marking one of the deadliest attacks on non-combatants in recent months. The incident occurred in an area where the military junta is engaged in ongoing conflict with ethnic armed organizations and People's Defence Forces.

Eyewitness accounts describe the scene as devastating, with bodies reportedly resembling "pieces of charcoal" due to the intensity of the bombing. The attack highlights the continued brutality of the conflict that has gripped Myanmar since the 2021 military coup, with civilian casualties mounting as fighting intensifies across various regions of the country.
