A military junta airstrike using a paramotor targeted Ywar Tan Shey Village in Taungtha Township, Mandalay Region, reportedly killing a woman and severely injuring her husband and their three-month-old son.
According to the Taungtha People Movement Committee, the military junta carried out three rounds of bombings on Ywar Tan Shey Village, near the border of Taungtha and Mahlaing Townships, at around 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
The attack was launched from Shan Tae Airbase in Meiktila Town using a paramotor, with two bombs dropped in each round. As a result, one civilian house was damaged.
An official from the Taungtha People Movement Committee told MPA, “A bomb landed near the house of the victims, a family of three.”
