Schools in Myanmar: The New Targets of Junta Airstrikes – Issue 170
16 May 2025
The bombing of the Oe Htein Twin village school, which claimed more than 20 students and two female teachers, is neither the first since the military coup in Myanmar nor likely the last such incident. As long as the junta airstrikes cannot be stopped, schools, religious sites, displacement camps, hospitals, clinics, villages, and neighborhoods throughout Myanmar remain potential targets of the military’s aerial attacks.
This week’s BNI-Myanmar Peace Monitor Bi-Weekly News Review focuses on schools in liberated areas, such as the Oe Htein Twin village school, that have become targets of the military junta airstrikes.
