Yangon, November 3

Local residents told Yangon Khit Thit News Agency that villagers are being forced to flee en masse from villages on the eastern bank of the Sittaung River in Htantabin Township, Bago Region, because junta forces have been continuously carrying out aerial bombing attacks.

It is reported that at about 10:00 p.m. on November 2, military aircraft flying from the Taungoo Air Base dropped three bombs on Gwe Gyi Village, Bwar Eain Su Village, and Kyein Taw Myaung Village on the eastern bank of the Sittaung River, approximately four miles southeast of Htantabin Township.

Although houses in the villages were damaged as a result of the airstrike, there were no civilian casualties because local residents had already evacuated in advance.

It is reported that since October 27, the junta has continuously carried out bombing attacks by aircraft against villages on the eastern bank of the Sittaung River. As a result of those attacks, one house was destroyed and local residents have been forced to flee to safe areas.

According to local residents, there were a small number of people injured during the airstrikes.
