Myanmar's military atrocities against civilians

Myanmar’s military has admitted carrying out an air attack on a community hall in the central Sagaing region that reportedly killed at least 50 people, including women and schoolchildren performing dances.

Zaw Min Tun, a spokesman for the military, confirmed the raid late on Tuesday, saying security forces attacked an opening ceremony for an office of an alleged militia group opposed to their rule in Pa Zi Gyi village.
“During that opening ceremony, we conducted the attack. PDF members were killed,” Zaw Min Tun told the military broadcaster Myawaddy, referring to the civilian militias known as People’s Defence Forces.

“They are the ones opposing the government of the country, the people of the country,” he said.
