At least 24 killed as paraglider drops bombs at Myanmar Buddhist festival

A motorized paraglider dropping bombs killed at least 24 people at a Myanmar Buddhist festival in Chaung U township, central Myanmar. The attack comes amid ongoing violence as the military regains control in the aftermath of seizing power in 2021, leading to a civil war with resistance groups and ethnic militias. The incident highlights the escalating conflict in Myanmar, with calls for international intervention to protect civilians and pressure on the military junta ahead of the upcoming national election.
