Myanmar military aircraft launched devastating airstrikes on residential areas in Rakhine State on Wednesday, killing at least 10 civilian, including women and children, and injuring dozens more.

The attacks occurred in Kyauktaw town, a region hosting significant Chinese development projects, and coincided directly with junta leader Min Aung Hlaing’s official visit to Beijing to secure diplomatic support.

According to local witnesses, a fleet of seven military aircraft targeted civilian neighborhoods late Wednesday evening. The lethal bombardment underscores a stark contradiction between the junta's international diplomatic efforts and its escalating violence against its own citizens at home.
