April 13, 2025
Despite no clashes reported in the area, two civilians were injured and several homes destroyed after junta airstrikes hit villages in Hpapun Township, Karen State, according to a statement released by the Karen National Union (KNU) Headquarters.
On the evening of April 8, around 5:30 PM, junta jet fighters dropped two bombs on Balaewor and Htee Thae Khlu villages. Local residents said the sudden airstrikes forced many to flee their homes in fear.
As a result of the attack, residents Saw Pana Mu and Saw Dae Si were injured. Homes belonging to Saw Karnae Mu, Saw Pana Mu, and Saw Daw Ne in Balaewor Village were heavily damaged. In Htee Thae Khlu, the home of Naw Kyar Hae and several others were also hit and partially destroyed.
This assault occurred despite the junta’s recent announcement of a temporary ceasefire in response to the earthquake disaster. However, communities across several states and regions continue to experience daily artillery shelling and airstrikes.
