Myanmar air strike kills over 40 in Rakhine village, UN reports

A recent air strike by Myanmar's military in Rakhine state has killed over 40 people, according to the United Nations and local reports. The attack targeted Kyauk Ni Maw village, destroying around 500 homes. The military junta has faced ongoing conflict since the 2021 coup that ousted Aung San Suu Kyi. The Arakan Army, an ethnic militia, reported casualties among local villagers, including 26 confirmed deaths. The U.N. has called for adherence to international humanitarian law. Activists are urging global governments to impose sanctions on entities providing aviation fuel to the military, aiming to halt further air strikes.
