"The Ministry of Defense, National Unity Government is deeply saddened to announce that terrorist military launched an airstrike on Pazigyee Village, Kantbalu Township, Sagain Region this morning, resulting in the loss of scores of innocent civilians and injuring many more, including children and pregnant women. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who lost their lives and those who are wounded. We express our deepest sorrow and share the great pain felt by the families affected by this tragedy. This heinous act by the terrorist military is yet another example of their indiscriminate use of extreme force against innocent civilians, constituting a war crime. We strongly condemn all terrorist acts committed against the people of Myanmar, including today's attack, and reiterate our commitment to ensuring justice for the victims. The cycle of military coups in Myanmar must come to an end, and the military dictatorship must be eradicated once and for all for the people of Myanmar to establish a stable and peaceful society and work towards the welfare of all. We remain committed to this goal and assure the public that the losses suffered by our citizens will never be in vain. We will make every effort to reach our objective and create a safer and more prosperous Myanmar for all..."
