Myanmar's military is targeting civilians in air and ground attacks on a scale unmatched in the country since World War II, according to a humanitarian relief worker
The increased indiscriminate attacks by Myanmar's military in the country's eastern region have killed and displaced tens of thousands with air attacks constituting"war crimes."
David Eubank, director of the Free Burma Rangers, a humanitarian relief organisation, spent almost three months in a combat zone in the Southeast Asian nation. He said that the military’s jets and helicopters stage frequent attacks in the areas of eastern Myanmar where he and his volunteers operate, bringing medical and food aid to civilians caught in conflict.
Manny Maung, a researcher for New York-based Human Rights Watch said the air attacks constitute “war crimes”.Myanmar’s military seized power last year, overthrowing the democratically elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi.
