An airstrike in Myanmar has resulted in the deaths of forty individuals and injuries to twenty others, according to the Arakan Army rebel group. The attack occurred in a village on the Ramree Peninsula in Rakhine State, where ongoing conflict persists between the military and the rebel group. The strike reportedly involved a fighter jet and destroyed over 500 homes, though the situation remains unverifiable due to limited access to the region. The violence has escalated since the military coup that ousted the democratically elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi in 2021.
