Dozens of Rohingya Muslims who fled Myanmar and sought refuge in Bangladesh in an attempt to save their lives were killed in a drone attack. Eyewitnesses put the death toll at 200.
Myanmar’s army continues to attack Rohingya Muslims. A pregnant woman and her two-year-old daughter were also among those martyred.
A group of Rohingya Muslims were waiting to enter the border of Bangladesh when they were attacked by the Myanmar army.
Eyewitnesses say that the Myanmar army targeted the Rohingya Muslims and their families who fled to Bangladesh in a state of nakedness and disorder.
Apart from four eyewitnesses, human rights activists and diplomats have also confirmed and condemned the attack. Since 2017, more or less 730 thousand Rohingya Muslims have left their areas.
A video has also surfaced in which it can be seen that dead bodies are lying all over the muddy field and their belongings are scattered. Some 200 people were killed, survivors said. According to Reuters, the massacre took place in the coastal city of Maungdaw.
In a refugee camp in Bangladesh, Mohammad Ilyas, 35, said he was waiting for a boat on the beach with his pregnant wife and two-year-old daughter when the army launched drone strikes. The wife and daughter were seriously injured and later died. Many relatives of Muhammad Ilyas died.
