Reports have emerged from the central Sagaing region of Myanmar alleging that the military conducted an airstrike targeting a Buddhist monastery. According to an opposition group and local residents, the attack resulted in the deaths of 14 people.

The Sagaing region has been a frequent site of conflict between the ruling military junta and various armed opposition forces since the 2021 coup. While the military has not yet issued a formal statement regarding this specific incident, the government has historically denied targeting civilians, often characterizing their operations as necessary actions against 'terrorists' or armed insurgents.

Because the military junta maintains strict control over information and restricts access to conflict zones, independent verification of these reports remains difficult. International observers and human rights organizations have frequently raised concerns regarding the military's use of air power in populated areas, though the junta maintains that its military campaigns are legitimate efforts to restore order. The discrepancy between reports from opposition groups and official military narratives remains a defining feature of the ongoing civil unrest in the country.
