Civilian fatalities and injuries are rising daily in Arakan State and elsewhere in the country as Myanmar's military regime has been carrying out airstrikes targeting towns and villages.

"We are always psychologically affected by the dangers of junta airstrikes. We can't sleep well at night. Many civilians have been killed in the regime air assaults," said a local woman in Kyauktaw.
