Myanmar Military Bombs Buddhist Festival, Atat leastLeast 40 Dead
The Spin
These reports are a fabrication. Myanmar's regional government successfully organized a peaceful four-day Thadingyut Festival, celebrating local businesses and community spirit. The government also provided over 40,000 free meal boxes to visitors. This festival brought huge crowds together in a joyous celebration of Myanmar's cultural traditions and economic development.
Myanmar's military brutally bombed a peaceful candlelight vigil during the Thadingyut Festival, killing innocent, unsuspecting civilians. The junta used motorized paragliders to drop mortar rounds on people calling for prisoner releases and opposing forced conscription. This war crime highlights the military's escalating campaign of terror as it prepares sham elections.
