October 8, 2025Oct 8 TNLA At least 40 people, including children, were killed in central Myanmar on Monday evening when the military junta launched an airstrike on a festival and anti-government protest, according to local witnesses. The attack occurred in Chaung U township during the Thadingyut full moon celebrations, a major Buddhist festival. Hundreds had gathered for the event, which also included a demonstration against the junta. Around 7:00 pm, a motor-powered paraglider flew over the crowd and dropped two bombs, witnesses said. “One-third of the crowd managed to flee,” said a member of the organising committee, speaking anonymously for security reasons. “But children were completely torn apart. We were still collecting body parts the next morning.” A local resident who attended the event confirmed the death toll and described the chaos as people tried to escape. “Two of my comrades were killed just in front of me,” he told AFP. “There were even more who died in front of me.” About 80 others were wounded in the strike. A junta spokesperson could not be reached for comment. Amnesty International condemned the attack, calling it a “gruesome wake-up call” and warning that the military is intensifying its campaign against resistance groups. “The Myanmar military is taking advantage of reduced scrutiny to carry out war crimes with impunity,” said Joe Freeman, Amnesty’s Myanmar researcher. Myanmar has been engulfed in civil war since the 2021 coup, which ousted an elected government and triggered a nationwide rebellion. The junta has since killed nearly 7,000 people and arrested close to 30,000, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners. The military has announced elections starting 28 December, claiming they will lead to reconciliation. However, a UN expert has dismissed the vote as a “fraud,” and rebel groups have vowed to disrupt it. As the junta tightens its grip on rebel-held areas, human rights groups are urging ASEAN to increase pressure on Myanmar’s rulers ahead of a regional summit later this month. The Chaung U bombing is the latest—and one of the deadliest—reminders of the junta’s escalating violence. -2025-10-08 ThaiVisa, c'est aussi en français ThaiVisa, it's also in French

Her house on Inya Lake in Rangoon has been put up for auction by the junta several times starting around the $90million level but no takers.
