The junta continues air strikes after it devastated the carcass

Myanmar’s military junta continues to bomb parts of the war torn from the war after the major earthquake there, which killed more than 1600 people.

The UN described the attacks as “completely outrageous and unacceptable”.

Special rapporteur Tom Andrews told the BBC that it was “nothing but incredible”, that the military continues to “run bombs when you try to save people” after the earthquake.

He called on the military regime, which seized power in a coup nearly four years ago to stop all military operations.

“Anyone who has an impact on the military should strengthen the pressure and make it clear that this is not acceptable,” he said.

“I urge the junta to just stop, to stop one of its military operations,” he added.

Burmese Burman confirmed that seven people were killed in an air strike in North Shan in the state. This strike took place around 3:30 pm local time, less than three hours after the quake.

Projecting rebel groups that are fighting to remove the military from power are reported by air bombing in the city of Chang-U in the northwest region of sagling, the epicenter of the earthquake. There are also reports of air strikes in regions near the Thai border.

The government of national unity (NUG), which represents the overthrown civil administration, said in a statement that its armed forces will launch a two -week pause in “offensive military operations, with the exception of protective actions” in areas affected by the earthquake by Sunday.

The 7.7 magnitude earthquake, which hit the saga, was also felt in neighboring countries. The following is reports of destruction coming from the nearby Mandalay – the second largest city of Myanmar – as well as the capital, Ya Pius Tau, who is more than 150 miles (241 km).

The junta is known to say that 1644 people have died and it is believed that many others are trapped under debris.

The earthquake comes after four years of civil war in Myanmar, which followed a military coup in 2021. A coup sparked huge protests, thousands of every day escapes on the street, requiring the restoration of civil government.

What initially began as a civic disobedience campaign, soon became a widespread uprising, including prodemocracy and ethnic rebel groups-which ultimately sparked a comprehensive civil war.

Four years on, violent fighting continued between the military, on the one hand, and ethnic armies and armed resistance groups on the other.

The junta, which has suffered continuous and humiliating damage and losing huge territories, is increasingly relied on air attacks to crush the resistance to its management.

Large parts of the saga region, the epicenter of the earthquake, are now under the control of pro -depocratic resistance groups.

BBC investigation revealed that nearly four years after the power of power at coup, The military now controls less than a quarter of the countryS

The investigation revealed that ethnic armies and patchwork of resistance groups now control 42% of the country’s land mass, while much of the rest of the area remains contested.

It is in the air battle that the military mode has the upper hand. Resistance groups have no capacity to fight in the air.

The military has the history of performing indiscriminate air bombings that have destroyed schools, monasteries, churches and hospitals. In One of the most deadly air strikes, more than 170 people were killedIncluding many women and children.

The UN body, investigating human rights violations in the country, has warned that military junta is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity against its own people.

The military air war is maintained by constant support from Russia and China. Although the UN calls for a weapon embargo in response to the coup, China and Russia have sold advanced Junta attacks and provided training on how to use it.

Russia and China have now sent teams for help and rescue in Myanmar. But the United Kingdom -based activist for Burman Julie Hayne’s rights said: “It’s hard to trust sympathy now that they are also the same countries that supply the military junta with deadly weapons used to kill our innocent civilians.”

There is also widespread that the military will use help as a weapon in the Civil War.

Myanmar military has a long -standing practice to refuse help from areas where they are active resistance groups.

The UN Tom Andrew told the BBC that during the past efforts to help the military blocked the aid and arrested assistants to help.

“What we know from past humanitarian disasters, natural disasters is that the junta does not reveal the truth. It also has the habit of blocking humanitarian aid from reaching to where it is most necessary,” he said.

“They arm this assistance. They send it to those areas that have control and refuse it in areas that do not.

“So you have areas where there are the most narrow needs and you literally have the help of trying to enter, the trucks block the road, people are arrested and this has been the model of their reaction to natural disasters in the past.

“I’m afraid that I expect it to be the case with this disaster.”
