Myanmar government troops reportedly raided Done Taw village, rounding up civilians, binding their hands, and burning 11 of them alive in apparent retaliation for an attack on a military convoy.
A video showed the charred bodies of victims, some believed to be teenagers, sparking outrage over the military's increasingly brutal tactics against anti-government resistance since the February coup.
Human Rights Watch called for international sanctions on commanders responsible, while the UN expressed deep concern, condemned the violence, and urged accountability for those behind the horrific act.

Myanmar's detained Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, received a package from Britain's King Charles III, which included two gardening books, a sealed envelope, and diplomatic communication.

Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
