Jan. 30, 2025: In an offensive strike against resistance forces in Myanmar, a junta airstrike on gold mining sites along the Chindwin River in the upper Sagaing Region on Tuesday afternoon killed one person and injured three others, according to reports from local news sites.
At approximately 11 a.m., the airstrike targeted a small-scale gold mining operation near Oe Bo Ka Tauk and Nat Set villages, located on the banks of the Chindwin River between Homalin and Paungbyin townships, said the report.
At around 11 a.m., a junta transport helicopter dropped at least 10 bombs onto the mining sites despite no fighting in the area. Since late last year, resistance forces have taken full control of Shwe Pyi Aye Town and maintain authority over many villages near Homalin.
