Myanmar military jets conducted a continuous, three hour aerial bombardment of the Arakan Army (AA)-controlled town of Ann in Rakhine State on Tuesday, following a failed junta offensive nearby.

The sustained airstrike, targeting the area around the former Western Command headquarters, appears to be retaliation for high casualties inflicted on junta forces by the AA earlier in the week.

According to a local resident who spoke with Narinjara, junta fighter jets bombarded the town continuously from approximately 3:30 PM until 6:30 PM today.
