COMBINED PDF terrorist insurgent groups have been carrying out acts of sabotage aimed at hindering regional development, disrupting the government’s administrative machinery, and undermining regional peace and stability. Their activities have included detonating mines, destroying critical infrastructure such as roads, bridges, schools and hospitals, launching remote attacks using improvised rockets, and dropping bombs from drones.
In their latest attack, the combined terrorist insurgent groups launched a drone attack using dropped bombs this afternoon on the Township People’s Hospital in Sitkaegyi Ward, Wuntho, Sagaing Region. The bombs exploded within the hospital compound, striking the monks’ treatment ward and the hospital conference hall.
The explosions caused shrapnel damage to window panes, ceilings, building walls, water pipelines and furniture. However, no local patients receiving medical treatment or healthcare personnel were injured in the incident.
Attacking a non-military hospital providing medical care to local ethnic civilians with such intent constitutes a war crime under the Geneva Conventions and international law. Residents have strongly objected to and condemned these terrorist acts, while security forces are continuing to take necessary area security measures. — 100/ST
