Mizzima. At least three civilians, including one person with a disability, were killed or injured as a result of an airstrike carried out by the military junta in Myeik Township, Tanintharyi Region, according to sources and the Karen National Union (KNU).

According to a statement released last night by KNU Brigade (4), Myeik-Dawei District, at 9:52 a.m. on 6 November, the military junta conducted an airstrike inside Mazaw Village in Myeik Township using one K8W fighter jet and three gyrocopters.

They said the airstrike was conducted after a military junta outpost had been attacked.

In addition, seven people, including a child over 10 years of age, were injured, and one civilian house, one school, and one motorcycle were also damaged.

However, according to a local resident, the airstrike actually struck Alekone Village in Mazaw Village Tract, and it is learned that one pregnant woman who had suffered severe injuries later died from her wounds.

A source said that before the airstrike, at around 5:00 a.m. on 6 November, joint revolutionary resistance forces had attacked military junta troops stationed in Tap Taung Village, Myeik Township, near the village that was later subjected to the airstrike.

The Mazaw Village Tract that was subjected to the airstrike is located within Lay Mu Hla (Palaw) Township, KNU Brigade (4), Myeik-Dawei District.

In addition, military tensions continue to remain high in Thayetchaung Township, Tanintharyi Region, between military junta forces and joint revolutionary resistance forces. It is reported that since late October, the military junta has been conducting military operations to regain full territorial control, resulting in frequent clashes along the lower Myeik-Dawei Road in Thayetchaung Township between military junta forces and joint revolutionary resistance forces, and the security situation remains tense.

On 30 October, the military junta carried out an airstrike on villages inhabited by civilians in Thayetchaung Township. As a result, a 10-year-old child and a person over 90 years old from Kanyin Chaung Village, along with two other people, were killed or injured, for a total of four casualties.
