At least 32 people, including 13 children, were killed in a suspected drone strike by Myanmar’s military on a refugee camp in Laiza, a remote mountainous town in Kachin State, local media reported Tuesday.<\/p>\n

According to Burmese Khit Thit News, the military council troops fired at the Laiza camp where the headquarters of the armed militia Kachin Independence Army (KIA) is located.<\/p>\n

During the last night’s firing with heavy weapons, at least 32 people were killed and several others wounded, the agency reported.<\/p>\n

The Kachin Independence Organisation (KIO), a political group of ethnic Kachins in northern Myanmar, is the military wing of the KIA. The Kachins are a group of six tribes whose territory includes the Yunnan State of China, Northeast India, and the Kachin State of Myanmar.<\/p>\n

Myanmar’s military ousted President Win Myint and State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi in 2021.<\/p>\n

The takeover led to protests and a mass civil disobedience movement, which were responded with brutal force, killing and wounding hundreds of people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
