A newborn baby is among five people killed after the Myanmar military bombed the maternity ward of a free community clinic in Arakan (Rakhine) State.

The facility is located near Ngwe Taung Pauk in Thamma Raj Ward, Mrauk-U.

This strike marks the second major attack on local medical infrastructure following the December 10, 2025, bombing of the Mrauk-U Public Hospital, which killed over 30 people.

The targeted maternity ward is part of a temporary clinic serving local residents. On November 1, at approximately 5:27 PM, two military jet fighters reportedly dropped four cluster bombs on the facility.

The attack killed five civilians, including the newborn, and injured nine others. Medical staff were among the wounded, and several clinic buildings and nearby residential homes were heavily damaged or destroyed.
