The United Nations Security Council has seen nine of its members condemn the 'indiscriminate' airstrikes by Myanmar’s military against civilians, despite the inability to pass a formal resolution due to vetoes from Russia and China. The condemnation follows recent attacks, including an airstrike on the Daw Si Ei school in Demoso township, Karenni State, which resulted in the deaths of four children, aged between 12 and 14, and two teachers. Satellite imagery confirmed the destruction, showing a massive crater at one of the school buildings. The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has expressed strong condemnation of the attacks, which occurred in eastern Myanmar's Kayah state. Meanwhile, Myanmar's Junta Foreign Minister Than Swe has been in talks with Red Cross and UN officials concerning the delivery of humanitarian aid.
New reporting from @amnesty shows the extent of how airstrikes are still being carried out by Myanmar's military against civilians, even after sanctions. Greater enforcement-especially from ASEAN neighbours-still needed. https://t.co/h0FEh8GUpH
