The Myanmar junta air force has reportedly bombed an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in Karenni State’s Loikaw killing one civilian and injuring three others.
Two fighter jets bombed Tee-lon village in Dawpapar village-tract, Loikaw Township, Karenni State at around 10:30 a.m. on 9 August.
According to a Tee-lon villager, one civilian was killed and three others were injured as the junta air force carried out an unprovoked attack. A public clinic and a private house were also destroyed.
According to the initial report from local people, currently there is no fighting around the Tee-lon village. However, the military junta targeted the public and intentionally bombed the village five times with two fighter aircrafts.
The incident is the first time that a civilian target has been bombed simultaneously by junta aircraft in Karenni State, according to the local people.
