National Unity Government (NUG) stated on 16 April that 40 children (under the age of 18) were killed among
168 victims on 11 April Pazigyi
village airstrike by junta forces in Kantbalu township of Sagaing division.
Among the young victims, six children were under the age of five, 19 below 14 years and five below 18
whereas 10 victims are yet to be identified
with their actual ages.
Details of the victims’ name, age and addresses have been listed by the NUG.
A total of 16 injured individuals have been treated by the NUG's medical unit. Over 300 war victims had left their
places and the NUG continued to do relief
works.
NUG’s defense minister U Ray Mon said that efforts would be made to restore justice over the mass killing
caused by the junta’s air strikes.
“The air strike by junta forces on people's peaceful assembly is unacceptable. The military council
deliberately bombed a village as it did
not accept the military rule,” he added.
The NUG stated that number of injured and affected people is too large and it’s beyond the response capacity
of the authority of NUG.
“The perpetrators (military council) must be made accountable for the crime. The international community
should look into the matter and stop
selling weapons & jet fuels to the Myanmar military regime so that it can not kill more innocent
people in the days to come,” said the
NUG.
