CWN Editor's Note: Myanmar’s military regime bombed the village in which Cardinal Charles Maung Bo, S.D.B., of Yangon was born.

“The attack is part of a broader pattern of military aerial bombardment across Sagaing Region, one of the areas hit hardest by junta airstrikes since the military seized power in a February 2021 coup,” reported Mizzima News Media, founded by Myanmar pro-democracy activists. “Local sources said no fighting had taken place in Monhla in the recent period before the attack.”
