An air strike conducted by Myanmar's military government resulted in the deaths of at least 30 individuals and injuries to approximately 70 others at a hospital in western Myanmar. The Mrauk U General Hospital in Rakhine state's Mrauk U township was directly targeted, leading to significant casualties and the complete destruction of the facility. This event is part of the ongoing conflict following the 2021 coup.

Technical Specifications of the Strike

The attack involved the use of military aircraft to drop bombs on the hospital, which had a capacity of 300 beds. At the time, the hospital was operating beyond capacity due to suspended healthcare services in the region, as reported by aid worker Wai Hun Aung.
