Myanmar Junta Bombing Kills 33 at Hospital on Human Rights Day

A military airstrike hit a hospital in Myanmar's western Rakhine state on Sunday, killing at least 33 people. The attack occurred on International Human Rights Day. The bombing also injured 76 people. Medical workers report 26 of the wounded are in critical condition. The ruling military junta, or council, carried out the attack. It targeted the hospital in a region with active armed resistance groups. The junta has not commented on the strike. This incident marks one of the deadliest attacks on a medical facility since the military seized power in a 2021 coup. Aid groups condemn the targeting of hospitals as a violation of international law.
