The Military council carried out airstrikes on villages in northern Gangaw district, Magway region, on the night of January 25 without any fighting, injuring four local men, according to local sources. The attack took place at around 9:30 p.m. on January 25, when two jet fighters dropped three bombs on Kan village, Mauk Lin village and the southern area of Kyauk Gu monastery.
The airstrikes injured four civilians, one of whom suffered a severe leg injury. “It broke out at night. I heard that one of them had a leg injury. There were four people injured. There was no fighting there,” said a local man.
According to military analysts, the Gangaw region is a major route to Chin State and the Military council is targeting civilian targets to regain control of the ground due to the strong presence of the rebel forces.
In addition, on January 23, the air force attacked the border between Pauk and Htee Lin, bringing the total number of airstrikes in the Yaw region to two in three days, with bombings targeting religious buildings.
