A paramotor bombing at a peaceful protest in Myanmar’s Sagaing region killed at least 24 people and injured 47 others.

Amnesty International condemned the attack as part of a “disturbing trend” amid the junta’s use of improvised air assaults.

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

The attack occurred on Monday evening when around 100 people had gathered in Chaung U township in central Myanmar to mark a national holiday.

Thousands have been killed and millions displaced since 2021, when the army seized power, sparking a civil war with armed resistance groups and ethnic militias.
