At least 24 killed as army paraglider bombs Myanmar Buddhist festival | BBC News


At least 24 people were killed and 47 wounded while protesting against Myanmar’s military government after an army motorised paraglider dropped two bombs on the crowd, a spokesperson for the government-in-exile told BBC Burmese.

The military attacked on Monday evening as around 100 people gathered in Chaung U township in central Myanmar for a national holiday.

Thousands have died and millions have been displaced since a military coup in 2021, which triggered a civil war with armed resistance groups and ethnic militias.
