An air strike by Myanmar's military on a village school killed at least 17 people and wounded dozens, with many victims being students. The attack occurred in Ohe Htein Twin village, part of the opposition-held Sagaing region, where resistance to military rule has been strong since February 2021. Reports indicate that the air strike targeted students from various educational levels as they attended school, with some accounts saying the death toll could rise. The military junta has increasingly used air strikes against resistance movements, further escalating the violence in the ongoing conflict, and no official comments have been made by the junta about this incident.
