Summary

A Myanmar military airstrike struck near a market in Kyauktaw township, Rakhine State on September 28, 2026. The attack also damaged a nearby bridge (Kisapanadi Bridge). Casualty figures differ between accounts: earlier reports cited at least 33 people killed and 36 injured, while later reports increased the death toll to 49-50 people killed and 58 injured. The market, a major wholesale center in the region, was busy at the time of the attack, with victims including vendors, shoppers, transport workers, and cargo loaders. The Arakan Army, an ethnic armed group controlling the territory, reported the incident and confirmed details to media. UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the attack, with Guterres calling for an end to violence against civilians. The Myanmar military has not commented on the airstrike, though it has previously stated it only targets legitimate military objectives. The attack is among the deadliest recent bombardments in Myanmar's ongoing civil conflict since the military's 2021 coup.
