Reports

On the eve of Thingyan, Myanmar's most significant Buddhist festival, a reported airstrike struck the Mahasi Sasan Meditation Centre in Seik Khun village, Sagaing Region, killing two people and injuring eight others. Myanmar Witness geolocated damage to the monastery compound, analysed imagery consistent with an aerial blast, and documents the incident alongside a pattern of alleged military strikes across Myanmar during the religious holiday.

Places of worship are intended to provide sanctuary and peace, even during times of war. But in Myanmar, many of these historic sites are increasingly becoming scenes of devastation.
