Rohingya Attack Leaves Unverified Death Toll

A drone attack targeted Rohingya Muslims fleeing from Myanmar to Bangladesh, killing dozens, including families with children. Witnesses described seeing bodies scattered on the ground and survivors struggling to identify deceased relatives. The attack, reportedly the deadliest on civilians in Rakhine state in recent weeks, occurred as Rohingyas were trying to cross the border amidst escalating violence between junta troops and the Arakan Army. Both the Myanmar military and the Arakan Army have blamed each other for the attack, but responsibility remains unverified. Videos confirmed by Reuters show the aftermath near Maungdaw, but the exact death toll is disputed, with some reports suggesting over 200 fatalities. The situation underscores the severe humanitarian crisis faced by Rohingya refugees, many of whom have already sought refuge in Bangladesh.
