Residents say that in Myitkyina Township, at the Myint Saing hill junction on the northern side of town, at around a little past 11 a.m. on February 13, the military used a jet fighter coming up from Tanta Oo to attack by dropping two bombs.

“A bomb was dropped on the big hardware shop at the Myint Saing junction. There was absolutely no military target there. The shop only sells iron goods, car parts, and machinery parts. They dropped bombs on it for no reason. The building was destroyed. As for people, there were no casualties because they had time to prepare in advance,” a villager said.
