In Monywa Township, Sagaing Region, the military council’s aircraft dropped bombs early this morning (February 4) on civilians who had been taking shelter in tents inside a Buddhist monastery compound after their homes were previously destroyed by fire. The attack killed a 14-year-old boy and his father, while the mother sustained severe injuries and is expected to lose a leg.

According to the Monywa Township True News Information Group, a military jet from Monywa (NMA) carried out the airstrike by dropping two bombs on Thakkel Kyin Village, which is adjacent to Monywa town. Besides the two killed, six others were injured — one of them critically.
