A monk was injured and houses were destroyed in military junta airstrike on a village in Mindat Township, Circuit (1), Chin State, according to local residents.

The military junta launched two 500-pound bombs, rockets and small arms at the village, where there are civilians, at around 2:30 p.m. on February 2, without any fighting.

“Military junta bombed on the village by a jet fighter three times. The bombs fell on the monastery grounds and the main road, and some did not explode,” a resident of Mindat Township told BBM.

The military junta launched three airstrikes on the village from around 2:30 p.m.

The bomb exploded in the monastery compound, injuring a monk, completely destroying a house, and slightly damaging other houses.
