Yangon, November 2

It has been learned from local residents that on October 31, the military used a fighter aircraft and suicide drones to bomb a location where war-displaced civilians were staying in the eastern part of Saw Township, Magway Region, injuring one civilian, burning down one displacement shelter, and killing five pigs.

A local Yaw-region source said that the military bombed the place where displaced civilians were staying in the eastern part of Saw Township at approximately 6:35 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on October 31, using one FTC-2000G fighter aircraft from the Meiktila Shan Te Air Base, and then carried out an additional attack using two suicide drones launched from Saw Town.

During the attack, one male civilian sustained injuries, although the injuries were not serious. One displacement shelter burned down, five pigs were killed, and one civilian vehicle was also damaged.

A Yaw-region source said:

“There was no fighting at that location. They deliberately attacked the place where displaced people were staying. First they dropped bombs with a fighter aircraft, and then they attacked again with two suicide drones. There was no military activity either. People need to be aware of the danger of air attacks.”

Local resistance groups have also urged civilians to remain vigilant, noting that the military may conduct airstrikes targeting civilian residential areas, displacement camps, monasteries, schools, religious buildings, and places where crowds gather.
