A horrific attack has struck a monastery in the village of Lintalu, Sagaing region, Myanmar. At least 23 people have been killed, including four children! Yes, you read that right – children lost their lives in this brutal airstrike carried out by the state military junta. Eyewitnesses report the monastery was hit early in the morning, with civilians displaced, injured, or killed in this savage assault.
This attack is not an isolated incident. After the junta temporarily halted airstrikes due to an earthquake in late March, they resumed their bloody offensive in rebel-controlled areas. Who even cares about civilians? Apparently, no one.
Imagine this – at least 23 lives lost, including innocent children, in an attack on a place that should be a sanctuary of peace and prayer. Instead, it has become a site of tragedy and pain. This brutality casts a dark shadow over the entire region and shows just how far the military junta is willing to go in its violence.
While the world watches and many stay silent, innocent people pay the price for political games and conflicts. Will anyone stop this madness? Or will we keep counting the dead and pretending nothing is happening?
If you care, think about this and share your thoughts. Is this just another forgotten tragedy or a wake-up call? Comment, laugh, or cry – but don’t stay silent.
