Myanmar Junta’s Brutal Airstrike Targets Pregnant Women and Newborn Babies

These images show the aftermath of a brutal airstrike by Myanmar’s military junta on a temporary maternity hospital in Mrauk-U Township, Rakhine State.

Five hospitalized civilians, including a newborn baby inside the temporary maternity ward, were killed in the attack. More than 10 other patients were also injured.

The military junta’s bombers have continued to carry out brutal attacks, killing even pregnant women and newborn babies without sparing them.

Following the bombing of Mrauk-U General Hospital, the temporary maternity ward had been relocated to a village far from the town.

However, on the evening of November 1, pregnant women awaiting delivery, newborn babies, and patients were subjected to a devastating aerial attack.

Two fighter jets bombed a temporary medical clinic, maternity ward, and surrounding areas near Ngwe Taung Pauk in Thammaraj Ward, Mrauk-U Township.

The aircraft dropped four cluster bombs with powerful explosive force, causing severe destruction in the surrounding area.

At the same time, an airstrike also targeted a bridge connecting Wa Taung Village and Pan Phe Chaung Village in Kyauktaw Township. The attack killed seven civilians traveling along the route and injured seven others.

On November 1 alone, Myanmar’s military carried out successive airstrikes from morning until evening across four townships — Kyauktaw, Mrauk-U, Kyaukphyu, and Wirathani — killing 12 civilians and injuring 32 others.

In December 2025, Myanmar’s military junta bombed Mrauk-U General Hospital, killing 33 civilians in a mass-casualty attack.
