In an urgent cry, the students in the classroom rush out of the building and run.
The little students are flashed by adults and hurriedly escape.
According to local media and the Associated Press, on the 16th, a school in Tabaingu Village, Sagaing Region, about 110 km northwest of Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar, was attacked by government forces.
It is said that 11 children were killed and 17 others were injured in the government air strike.
Witnesses, including the victim’s teacher, testified that a government military helicopter fired a machine gun at the school for an hour.
After the helicopter strike, about 80 soldiers entered the school grounds and fired machine guns at the building, who later ordered everyone in the building to exit.
Myanmar’s military said it was a response to rebels
The Associated Press reported that “this time has the highest number of child victims.”
The international community’s voices of criticism and retribution are expected to intensify as the Myanmar military, which abducted two and four-year-old children and robbed the body of a 19-year-old girl who is considered a symbol of resistance, even went to school this time, saying it was the family of the protesters.
