Moreover, on November 24, an artillery shell fired by the junta’s navy exploded in Ponnagyun Town, Rakhine State, causing the destruction of shops in Myoma Market from the resulting fire.
The junta’s air force also dropped bombs on civilian areas and hospitals in Demoso Township in Kayah State, Namhkan Town in Shan State, and Indaw Township in Sagaing Region, resulting in many civilians getting injured and destroying numerous houses and the hospital.

Then, junta forces arrived at the market in large numbers and carried out the destruction of the market in the evening of that day and morning of November 26.
