Myanmar military airstrike hits Bible school in Karen State, killing three female Christian students
Fighter jets dropped over ten bombs before a drone struck the building in Hpapun district; six others were wounded in the attack.
An airstrike carried out by Myanmar military forces targeted a Christian Bible school in Hpapun district, also known as Mutraw, located in Karen State. Three female Christian students died and six people were wounded as bombs and armed drones struck the site, according to details released by Christian Solidarity Worldwide.
The bombardment began on Tuesday when military regime fighter jets dropped over ten bombs on the area, followed by approximately one hour of armed drone attacks. During the assault, one of the drones directly struck the religious school building. Two students were killed instantly, while several others suffered injuries.
The day after the bombing, local teams attempted to transport two critically injured young women across the border for emergency medical care in Thailand. However, one of the critically injured young women died en route to a hospital in Thailand, raising the total fatal casualty count from the attack to three students.
