A displaced civilian was killed and two others injured in Myanmar junta airstrikes on camps and villages in Demoso Township, eastern Kayah State, on Thursday morning. A junta plane bombed the Pon Chaung camp in the east of the township, according to the Karenni Human Rights Group. “A man in his 30s was killed and two men were injured by the junta airstrike,” a group representative told The Irrawaddy. At least five shelters were damaged by the bombing. “There has been no fighting in the area. They deliberately bombed the camp,” a Demoso villager said. Another airstrike hit western Demoso Township where displaced civilians were sheltering in villages on Thursday. No casualties were reported. The Irrawaddy could not independently verify the reports. On August 25, junta jets dropped two bombs on residential areas in western Demoso township, damaging two houses and a temporary school, according to residents. Three children were injured in a junta drone attack in Kay Hlar village tract, Hpruso Township, on August 23. A junta airstrike near Kwaing Ngan village in Demoso Township damaged a bridge and community hall on August 23. Shelling and airstrikes are common amid fighting between junta forces and resistance groups in Kayah State. Junta forces burned down at least 10 houses in Daw Ngay Khu village in Demoso and 30 houses in Htee Paw So village in Hpruso last week.
