A devastating airstrike by Military Commission forces on Tat Kone Village killed five civilians, including a one-year-old child, while residents were gathered to prepare for a local wedding on 22 January, 2026. The attack, which took place at approximately 2:00 pm, reportedly involved the dropping of three 100-pound bombs directly onto the site of a wedding pavilion.
According to the official from Aunglan Community Group, the victims included a one-year-old infant, a woman in her 60s, and a man in his early 30s. Numerous others sustained injuries, though a precise casualty count remains difficult to verify due to a total internet blackout in the region following the strike.
“They (Military Commission) carried out this aerial attack while people were gathering and preparations for the wedding were underway. It occurred because an informant gave false information claiming that revolutionary forces were present at the location. The situation is still being evaluated as there are many injured individuals. The precise figure is unknown at this time because the internet connection has been cut off,” the official said.
Furthermore, two houses that were hit by the bombs were totally destroyed by fire, and several other homes were damaged.
According to locals, Tat Kone village residents were forced to flee to neighbouring villages after the Military Commission’s airstrike made it impossible for them to remain in the area.
On 29 December last year, the Military Commission’s No. 15 Defense factory fired a 120-mm artillery shell and it directly hit at a house in Sat Su Wa Village in Aung Lan Township, killing four family members inside the house.
