Mon Mar 24 16:16:18 UTC 2025: ## Myanmar Junta Airstrike Kills 11 at Village Clinic
**Yangon, Myanmar – March 25, 2025** – A Myanmar junta airstrike on a makeshift medical clinic in the village of Hnan Khar, Magway region, killed 11 people, including a doctor and his wife, according to local sources. The attack, which occurred Saturday morning, targeted an area currently controlled by anti-coup forces.
Eyewitnesses described a low-flying aircraft dropping a bomb that destroyed the clinic, leaving behind only body parts. Villagers expressed profound fear of continued attacks, reporting a rise in airstrikes in recent months and a constant state of alert for incoming fighter jets.
The military has yet to comment on the incident. However, analysts attribute the increased reliance on airstrikes to the junta’s growing military pressure on the ground. Data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) shows a significant surge in airstrikes targeting civilians, with nearly 800 incidents recorded in 2024—more than triple the number in 2023. This escalation is attributed to the junta’s powerful air force, bolstered by Russian technical support. The ongoing civil war, sparked by the 2021 military coup, continues to inflict devastating casualties on civilians caught in the crossfire.
