October 24, 2024
On September 5, 2024, a Myanmar junta jet bombed a camp housing internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Pekon Township on the border between Karenni and Shan states, killing nine displaced persons, including six children. The U.N. Security Council should immediately impose an embargo on the supply of aviation fuel and military weapons to the Myanmar military junta to prevent further indiscriminate attacks on civilians.
