TL;DR

At least 100 people, including women and children, were killed in a military airstrike on a village in central Myanmar on Tuesday. The attack was one of the deadliest since the junta seized power in a coup two years ago. The new town office was being opened under the authority of the shadow National Unity Government (NUG), for the people, as part of the anti-junta resistance. The junta has designated the NUG and resistance groups known as the People’s Defense Force in the country as terrorists. The strike was condemned internationally, with one top UN official saying global indifference to the situation in Myanmar contributed to the attack.
