“Myanmar military launches air strike on Rakhine market, killing at least 33 “
A Myanmar military air strike hit a market and nearby bridge in Kyauktaw, Rakhine State, on September 28, killing at least 33 people and injuring 36 others, according to rescue officials and the Arakan Army. The market was a major wholesale centre for the region. The military did not immediately comment, while it has previously said its air strikes target legitimate military targets. The attack comes amid continued fighting between the military and ethnic armed groups in Rakhine, where nearly half a million people have been displaced.
