Myanmar's military launched airstrikes inside its own country in which three residents of Karen state had to lose their life.

According to Karen National Union (KNU), the airstrikes were launched between 7 p.m. on Saturday to 2 a.m. on Sunday. 

Military Junta launched airstrikes against the Karen National Liberation Army which is the military wing of KNU.

“Three people died and seven others have been injured from last night’s attack on the villages in Deh Bu Noh. One of them, who was believed to be hit, was burned after the bomb fell into their home,” a Karen relief worker told The Irrawaddy on the condition of anonymity.

More than 1,000 villagers who lived near the military outposts have fled across the Thai border.

Most of those who have fled their homes due to the fear of getting killed by the military are women, children, and elderly people.

On March 27, KNU Brigade 5 said in a statement that it will intensify its defensive action against the regime while protecting its territory.
