Myanmar military airstrikes leave over 100 dead and spark international outrage.

TL;DR Summary
Myanmar's military conducted airstrikes on a ceremony held by opponents of army rule, killing as many as 100 people, including many children. The military has increasingly used airstrikes to counter the widespread armed struggle against its rule, which began in February 2021. More than 3,000 civilians are estimated to have been killed since then by security forces. The United Nations strongly condemned the attack and said those responsible must be brought to justice. The death toll from Tuesday's air attack, if confirmed, could be the highest in more than two years of civil conflict that began when the army seized power in 2021.
