SAGAING DIVISION – The junta council carried out airstrikes on Nyaung Hla and Nyaung Zekone Villages in Depayin Township using two gunships on Tuesday, September 26, at around 11:20 a.m.
Two Mi-35 helicopters from the junta’s northwest headquarters dropped bombs and fired machine guns while flying over Nyaung Hla and Nyaung Zekone Villages, despite the absence of any ongoing battle. This occurred while children were attending school, and parents had to retrieve them and hide.
“There was no battle, and the junta column was also stationed at Me Owl. The junta gunships dropped bombs and fired machine guns three times, and the situation is ongoing. Fighter jets are also in the air, and children have been taken by their parents. Civilians are hiding under trees or in their homes. The casualties cannot be confirmed,” reported a resident.
“The junta council is carrying out airstrikes at Nyaung Hla Village, south of Ye-U, without provocation. Yesterday, the junta column also raided Se Gyi Village. When they left the village, they requested airstrikes, fearing a possible attack from the PDF,” another resident stated.
