Summary

A Myanmar military airstrike struck a market in Kyauktaw township, western Rakhine state, on Monday around midday. Early reports indicated at least 33 deaths and 36 wounded, but subsequent accounts raised the toll to 49-50 killed and 58 wounded. The Arakan Army, an ethnic rebel group controlling the area, reported the incident and stated the victims were innocent civilians including market vendors, shoppers, and cargo loaders. Witnesses reported a fighter jet dropping two bombs near the riverside commercial hub, which serves as the region's main wholesale center. Photos and videos showed buildings on fire, damaged vehicles, and a destroyed bridge. Aid workers warned the final death toll could rise as some bodies were lost in fires following the bombing. The Myanmar military did not immediately comment but has previously stated it only targets legitimate military objectives. The UN Human Rights Chief condemned the attack as one of the deadliest incidents in Rakhine since the February 2021 military coup.
