Myanmar junta airstrikes have reportedly killed at least 53 civilians and injured around 80 others in 10 days.

Fighter jets, Y12 airplanes, helicopters and motorized paragliders have conducted at least 35 attacks on targets, including schools, displacement camps, hospitals and religious sites, from February 10 to 19.

Myanmar’s head of military government travels to ally Russia for talks with Putin. Russia defends Myanmar’s military govt in international forums, and the ruling generals generally support Moscow’s foreign policy agenda. It report said Min Aung Hlaing will also meet with other top Russian officials and discuss bilateral ties, economic affairs and security with the aim to strengthen strategic cooperation.

Russia, along with China, is a major supporter and arms supplier of Myanmar’s military government. Russian-made fighter jets are used in attacks on territory under the control of ethnic minority groups, many of which are allies with pro-democracy resistance forces.
