saw more airstrikes than August, and there were also more casualties.
According
to U Khaing Thukha, a spokesman for the Arakan Army (AA), the increased
frequency of airstrikes is intended to spread terror and destabilize the region.
“Their
primary objective is to undermine regional stability and cause terror among the
populace in the areas under our authority. These are crimes against humanity,
war crimes," he declared.
The
junta is carrying out airstrikes on heavily populated places, such as
hospitals, schools, markets, religious sites, major residential complexes,
administrative buildings utilized by previous governments, as well as abandoned
military bases. The AA has advised inhabitants to exercise caution in these
regions.
