SAC Airstrikes in Sagaing Region Target Civilian Villages
Myanmar military (SAC) jets carried out multiple airstrikes on Mingin Township, destroying over 150 homes and a local clinic. The Myanmar Now news agency confirmed that 4,500 civilians from three surrounding villages fled into nearby forests to escape the bombardment. This specific aerial campaign follows reports of local PDF gains in the region. The displaced population currently lacks access to food and medical supplies, as junta forces have blocked major transport routes leading into the township.
