TL;DR Summary

Eyewitnesses report that at least 171 people, including women and children, were killed in a 15-minute airstrike by Myanmar's military junta on a village in the Sagaing region. The attack targeted a new anti-junta office that had just opened, and drew international condemnation. The UK has called for the UN National Security Council to investigate the incident. The Sagaing region has seen strong resistance to the junta, which took control of Myanmar in a February 2021 coup and arrested former leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
