Myanmar’s military continues to carry out airstrikes near the crash site of a fighter jet downed by resistance forces in Sagaing Region’s Pale Township last week, according to local sources.
Active fighting zones near Kant Daunt and Inn Ma Htee, two villages west of the junta-controlled town of Pale, were targeted on Wednesday morning, a displaced man living in the area told Myanmar Now.
“Both a fighter jet and a Y-12 aircraft dropped bombs this morning. We have to find a safe place to take shelter,” said the man from the nearby village of Min Taing Pin.
Local sources said the initial airstrike came shortly after 8am. The Y-12 aircraft arrived soon after, dropping at least 30 bombs near the two villages.
There were no confirmed casualties at the time of reporting.
Four junta fighter jets also carried out aerial assaults on Sa Par Sayt. . .
