Myanmar Junta Airstrike on Sagaing School Kills 24
On May 12, 2026, a Myanmar military aircraft targeted an opposition-run school in Oe Htein Kwin village, Sagaing Region. The strike resulted in the deaths of 22 students and two teachers. This incident follows an intensified campaign of aerial offensives across Rakhine, Chin, and Karen states despite the junta's recent '100-day peace plan.' The attack underscores the ongoing targeting of civilian infrastructure by the military regime, which observers say aims to rule through fear.
