Two Dozen Civilians Reportedly Killed in Burmese Military Strikes in Rakhine

HeadlineMar 19, 2024

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has expressed concerns at reports the Burmese military is continuing to bomb civilian areas. Dozens of people were reportedly killed, including children, early Monday in Burmese military airstrikes on a predominantly Rohingya village in Rakhine state. Clashes in the region have soared after the end of a ceasefire in November between the Arakan Army and Burmese forces that had been in place since the 2021 military coup. Guterres said, “The expansion of conflict … is driving displacement and exacerbating pre-existing vulnerabilities and discrimination.”
