(Worthy News) – Myanmar’s military has shelled a town in the country’s Christian majority state, destroying at least three churches, an orphanage, and more than 160 homes and offices, aid workers say.
Details of the October 30 attack on the town of Thantlang emerged Tuesday as the area was reportedly largely evacuated after previous attacks and threats from the military.
No casualties were immediately reported, but there were fears for the safety of 20 children and their teachers trapped in an orphanage, said the Chin Human Rights Organisation (CHRO).
