At least 60 people have reportedly been killed and more than 100 injured by Burmese military airstrikes on a music festival in Kachin State, reports the New Musical Express. The event was celebrating its 62nd anniversary since the founding of Kachin Independence Organisation (KIO).
Burma Campaign UK tweeted “Horrific reports of 60 killed & 200 injured … We renew our call for aviation fuel sanctions to try to help stop these attacks.”
