In Mynamar sind bei einem Luftangriff der Armee auf ein Krankenhaus nach Angaben eines Entwicklungshelfers mehr als 30 Menschen getötet worden. Mindestens 68 Menschen wurden demnach verletzt.

Overview

  • An aid worker reported 31 deaths so far and said the toll could rise after the strike on Mrauk U’s hospital.
  • At least 68 people were injured, according to local rescue sources cited by international media.
  • A fighter jet bombed the 300-bed facility on Wednesday evening, and the hospital was reported destroyed.
  • Photos showed at least 20 bodies wrapped in cloth, and the Arakan Army said ten patients died immediately.
  • The military did not respond to requests for comment, and restricted access hampers verification as fighting with the Arakan Army intensifies across Rakhine.
