Some armed groups have condemned the February 2021 military coup that toppled the government of Aung San Suu Kyi and are offering military aid to the DLA, a junta resistance movement targeted by the military.

One man was killed, according to the military. Six students, one male and one female, were injured.

There has so far been no claim of responsibility for the action.

More than 2,700 civilians have been killed in violent incidents since the February 1, 2021 military coup, according to data compiled by a non-governmental organization in Myanmar. The military junta, for its part, blames rebel organizations for nearly 3,900 civilian deaths.
