Myanmar Junta’s ‘Counterattack’ Targets Civilians, Killing 40, Including Children.

Myanmar’s junta has stepped up deadly airstrikes on civilian targets including a school, a bazaar, towns, and an IDP camp, killing at least 40 people including a dozen children in the past six days.

The aerial massacres came after junta boss Min Aung Hlaing’s recent vow to launch counterattacks to retake territory seized by resistance forces.

Resistance groups and rights bodies said the junta was brazenly escalating its campaign of war crimes by targeting civilian populations in retaliation for battlefield and territory losses.

Revolutionary groups also reiterated their demand for the United Nations, European Union (EU) and ASEAN to ban exports of aviation fuel and ammunition to the Myanmar military and take effective action that prevents junta war crimes against civilians.
