Dozens Killed in Attack on Rohingya Refugees

A devastating drone attack on August 5 targeted Rohingya refugees fleeing Myanmar, resulting in dozens of deaths, including children and pregnant women. Eyewitnesses reported survivors searching among bodies for their deceased relatives, with estimates suggesting over 200 fatalities, though official death tolls remain unverified. The Arakan Army has been accused of the attack but denies responsibility, while the Myanmar military and the militia blame each other for the tragedy. Videos from the scene captured the harrowing aftermath, showing scattered bodies and personal belongings near Maungdaw. This incident marks the deadliest assault on civilians during recent conflicts in Rakhine state. Humanitarian organizations are responding to the crisis as violence against the Rohingya escalates amid ongoing military tensions in the region.
