Deadly Drone Attack Devastates Rohingya Families

A drone attack on Rohingya fleeing Myanmar has resulted in the deaths of dozens, including families with children. Witnesses report survivors trying to identify dead and injured relatives. Blame for the attack is disputed between the Arakan Army and Myanmar's military, and the exact death toll remains unknown.

A drone attack on Rohingya fleeing Myanmar has killed dozens of people, including families with children, several witnesses report. Survivors can be seen wandering among piles of bodies, identifying dead and injured relatives.

Witnesses, activists, and a diplomat described drone attacks that struck families waiting to cross into Bangladesh. Among the victims were a heavily pregnant woman and her 2-year-old daughter. This marks the deadliest civilian assault during recent weeks of fighting between junta troops and rebels in Myanmar's Rakhine state.

The Arakan Army and Myanmar's military have blamed each other for the attacks. Videos on social media show bodies strewn across muddy ground, with more than 200 reportedly dead according to survivors. Reuters verified the video locations as just outside Maungdaw, Myanmar, but could not confirm the exact date or death toll.
