Myanmar military airstrikes on a displacement camp in Rakhine state killed 12 people, including a child.

Myanmar military airstrikes on a displacement camp in Rakhine state have killed 12 people, including a five-year-old child, and wounded 18 others, according to rescuers.

The strikes are part of a renewed military offensive by the junta to regain control of Rakhine State. Numerous civilian casualties have been documented in the area as a result of the campaign.

Available evidence suggests that military aircraft are deliberately targeting civilian sites and carrying out double-tap strikes, a tactic in which a second strike targets an area shortly after an initial attack, often hitting rescuers and bystanders.
