12 Killed, Including a 5-Year-Old Child, and Many Injured as Terrorist Junta Fighter Jet Bombs Byar La IDP Camp in Ponnagyun

News ၊ November 14, 2026

Yesterday, November 13, at around 7:00 PM, the terrorist military junta carried out another airstrike on the Byar La internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in Ponnagyun Township, where displaced civilians are sheltering.

During the bombing attack, 12 innocent civilians including a five-year-old child were killed, and at least 18 others sustained injuries.

The Byar La IDP camp shelters innocent displaced civilians from various regions, the majority of whom are impoverished and struggling daily for their livelihoods.

Earlier, on October 4 at approximately 5:10 PM, two fighter jets from the fascist terrorist military junta also launched consecutive airstrikes on the same Byar La IDP camp.

In that previous attack, numerous homes and market stalls were destroyed by fire, resulting in the immediate deaths of six displaced civilians and injuries to several others.

The Arakan Army (AA) has urged the public to remain vigilant against airstrikes at every moment and every second in recent days, noting that the terrorist junta is acting with reckless brutality, frequently carrying out indiscriminate aerial attacks on innocent civilians of all ethnicities and religions, including monks, pregnant women, and children.
