AIR STRIKE ON SETTLEMENT BY THE MILITARY: 21 DEAD, 7 INJURED
Recently, the military conducted an airstrike in the city of Mogok, the center of the country's precious stone industry. An official from the Ta'ang National Liberation Army, which controls the region, stated that at least 21 people, including a pregnant woman and members of an armed opposition group, lost their lives in the attack, and 7 others were injured.
MILITARY COUP IN MYANMAR
The Myanmar military seized power on February 1, 2021, following allegations of fraud in the 2020 general elections and rising political tensions in the country. The military detained many officials, including the country's de facto leader and Foreign Minister Aung San Suu Kyi, and declared a state of emergency (SOE) for one year. The SOE was extended, citing ongoing conflicts.
The "Three Brotherhood Alliance," which brings together armed groups from the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army, the Arakan Army, and the Ta'ang National Liberation Army, has launched armed actions against the Myanmar military.
In a statement made in September 2024, Liz Throssell, spokesperson for the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Office, said that since the military coup in 2021, at least 5,350 civilians have been killed in Myanmar, and more than 3.3 million people have been displaced.
The military administration in Myanmar ended the state of emergency, which had been in place for 4.5 years, on July 31, ahead of the general elections planned for the end of the year.
