Early reports indicate that the junta conducted more airstrikes on Kyauktaw Town, Arakan State, on January 11, resulting in multiple casualties. 

Around 9:20 am today, a fighter jet released three bombs on Kyauktaw Town, with the blasts occurring in the Shan Wra market and Ba Dein Tan areas. 

“Explosives fell close to Shan Wra village and Ba Dein Tan in main market, causing numerous injuries. Two individuals were killed outside the Mya Sein Yaung guesthouse," a local resident mentioned.

Reports suggest multiple casualties, with two deaths reported in front of the Mya Sein Yaung guesthouse, though the precise count is still uncertain. 

Narinjara News is persistently probing into the specifics of the casualties.

On January 11, the Arakan Army (AA) released a statement alleging that the junta's air force intentionally carried out airstrikes with jet fighters. The attacks mainly focused on crowded regions, such as wards and markets in Kyauktaw Town. 

As per the statement, the airstrikes occurred on three occasions: once at approximately 9:00 am, again at about 10:00 am, and a last strike around 3:00 am. 

The statement also indicated that around 15 bombs were released during the three air raids. 

In these assaults, innocent civilians such as vendors, shoppers, and bystanders were harmed and lost their lives. Moreover, substantial damage occurred to stalls and residential structures. 

On January 8, the junta carried out airstrikes on Kyauk Ni Maw village in Ramree Township, leading to 26 civilian fatalities and 27 injuries. 

From December 31, 2024, to January 11, 2025, junta airstrikes resulted in the deaths of more than 50 individuals and injured at least 87 others.
