Hunta continues to blows after the devastating earthquake

Myanmar’s military junta continued to bomb parts of the country’s destroyed war after the main earthquake that killed more than 1600 people.

The UN described the attacks as “completely flamboyant and unacceptable.”

Special Rapporteur Tom Andrew told the BBC that it was “nothing incredible” that the military continued to “throw bombs when you try to save people” after the earthquake.

He called on the military regime that seized power at the coup almost four years ago to stop all hostilities.

“Anyone who has an impact on the military must enhance the pressure and make it clear that it is unacceptable,” he said.

“I urge the junta to just stop, stop any hostilities,” he added.

The BBC Burmese confirmed that seven people were killed in Naungcha’s airline tickets in North Shan. This strike took place at about 3:30 pm local time, less than three hours after the earthquake struck.

Promotocratic insurgent groups fighting for the removal of troops from power, reports about air explosions in Chang-in the northwestern region of Sagain, the epicenter of the earthquake. There are also reports of airstrikes in the regions near the Thai border.

The National Unity Government (NUG), which is a overthrown civil administration, said in a statement that its armed forces would start a two -week pause in “offensive hostilities, except for defensive actions in areas affected by the earthquake.

The 7.7 magnitude earthquake, which impressed the penetration, was also felt in neighboring countries. Then there were reports of the destruction, which came from the nearest mandala – the second largest city of Myanmar – as well as the capital, no, not in 150 miles (241 km).

Hunta says 1644 people are known to have died, and many others are believed to be trapped under the rubble.

The earthquake comes after four years of the Civil War in Myanmar, which followed the military coup in 2021. The coup has caused huge protests, and thousands took the streets daily, demanding the restoration of civilian government.

The fact that initially began as a civil disobedience soon turned into a broad uprising involving pro-democracy and ethnic rebel groups as a result caused a comprehensive civil war.

Four years of violent fighting continued between the military, on the one hand, and ethnic armies and groups of armed resistance on the other.

The junta, which suffered from constant and degrading and lost wide territory, is increasingly relying on air attacks to crush its rule.

A considerable part of the sagged region, the epicenter of the earthquake, are now under the control of the pro -democratic resistance groups.

The BBC investigation showed that almost four years after the capture of power in the coup, Now the military controls less than a quarter of the country.

The investigation has shown that ethnic armies and patchwork resistance groups are now controlled by 42% of the country’s land, while most of the remaining area remains challenged.

It is in the air battle that the military regime has the upper hand. The resistance group lacks the opportunity to fight in the air.

The military has the history of the prevailing air bombing that destroyed schools, monasteries, churches and hospitals. In One of the most deadly airstrikes, more than 170 people were killedIncluding many women and children.

The UN body, which investigates human rights violations in the country, warns that military junta has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity against its own people.

The air war of the military is supported by constant support from Russia and China. Despite the fact that the UN calls for weapons embargo in response to a coup, both China and Russia sold Hunta complex attack aircraft and conducted training as it used.

Russia and China have now been sent to Myanmar aid and rescue. But in the UK, based in Burmese human rights activist Julie Hin, said: “It is difficult to trust sympathy now that they are also the same countries that supply military races with the deadly weapon used to kill our innocent civilians.”

There is also a broad concern that the military will use assistance as a weapon in the civil war.

Myanmar’s military has many years of refusing help in areas where active resistance groups are.

Tom Andrew’s UN told the BBC that during the past efforts to assist the military blocked assistance and arrested assistance workers.

“What we know from past humanitarian disasters, natural disasters is that the junta does not reveal the truth. It also has a habit of blocking humanitarian aid from where it is most needed,” he said.

“They armed this help. They send it to the areas they control and deny it in areas that do.

“So, you have areas where there are most urgent needs, and you are literally helping, trying to enter, trucks block the road, arrested people, and it was naturally responding to spontaneous disasters in the past.

“I’m afraid I expect it to be with this disaster.”
