At least 23 civilians, including 4 children, were killed in an airstrike on a Buddhist monastery in Lin Ta Lu village, Sagaing region, Myanmar, on July 11, 2025. Around 150 people were sheltering there due to ongoing conflict. About 30 others were injured, 10 critically, according to a resistance fighter. The military, which seized power in 2021, has escalated airstrikes in resistance strongholds like Sagaing. Thousands have fled nearby villages. Opposition leaders say the junta is trying to regain territory ahead of a controversial election aimed at legitimising its rule. The military has not commented on the latest deadly attack.
