Twenty-nine people were killed and several got injured in a military strike on a camp for displaced people in northern Myanmar. According to a spokesperson for an ethnic rebel group that controls the area informed that the attack happened at around 11:30 PM local time on Monday.While giving statement about the attack, Colonel Naw Bu of the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), Myanmar said that “We are investigating what kind of attack it was and we have found 29 dead bodies including children and older people… 56 people were wounded.”He further added that they did not hear any aircraft. However, they are looking whether the military had used a drone to target the camp near Laiza town on the China border.It is to be noted here that Kachin Independence Army (KIA) has clashed regularly with the military for decades, with heavy fighting erupting in the wake of the militarys latest coup in 2021.Before this, Myanmar military air strikes on a concert held by the KIA in October last year killed around 50 people and left 50 injured.
