At least 20 killed in Myanmar junta attack as paramotors widen air warA 30-year-old protester was taking part in a gathering against Myanmar's ruling junta on a festival day in the central region of Sagaing on Monday when he heard the distinctive noise of fan blades cutting through the air. "I was thrown away," said the protester, asking not to be named for fear of retribution from the junta. At least 20 people were killed in the attack by the junta, according to the eyewitness, Amnesty International, the shadow National Unity Government and an armed resistance group in the area. A spokesperson for Myanmar's junta did not respond to calls seeking comment. The military also used paramotors to carry out attacks in parts of Myanmar hit by a deadly earthquake in March, the United Nations said in April.
