An airstrike by the junta in Mingin Township, Sagaing Region on Monday morning killed 28 people, emergency response volunteers said this week after initial reports estimated a lower death toll.
The victims died in a bombing raid by the junta air force during a wedding ceremony in Mataw village, Mingin Township, on Monday morning. Myanmar Now previously reported that at least seven victims had died based on information from local news sources, but has since confirmed that the number was higher.
“The kind of bomb they used was a highly destructive type, and they caused such massive damage because they had a clear shot at a large building and were only about 50 feet from the crowd,” said Capt. Zay Thu Aung, a defector from the Myanmar air. . .
