THREE years have passed since the tragic airstrike in the Anantpa area of Phakant Region, Kachin State, where 69 people were killed in one of the deadliest attacks by the Myanmar military. The incident, which occurred on the night of October 23, 2022, remains a painful memory for survivors and the Kachin community.
According local sources, the military junta carried out airstrikes that struck a local gathering, killing civilians, artists, and members of the Kachin Independence Organisation (KIO). The attack has since been remembered as one of the most brutal massacres following the military coup.
A Kachin artist expressed his sorrow during the anniversary, saying, “In that tragedy, we lost three artists dear to us, including Aura Lee and Zaw Moon (King). Each time I see their artworks, it feels as though the incident happened only yesterday. They died while doing what they loved.”
The Anant massacre stands as a grim reminder of the ongoing violence in Myanmar’s ethnic regions, where civilians continue to bear the brunt of military airstrikes and conflict.
