Save the Children confirmed two Myanmar staff are missing after over 30 charred bodies, including women and children, were discovered in eastern Kayah state.
The incident occurred following an alleged attack by junta troops on vehicles in Hpruso township, which local monitoring groups and media blame on the military.
The charity stated its missing staff were traveling home from humanitarian work when their private vehicle was attacked and burned, prompting the suspension of operations in several regions.
This atrocity adds to the ongoing violence in Myanmar, where the military junta faces resistance from People's Defence Forces since the February coup.

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.
The event marked the first release of images of Suu Kyi in two months and saw Myanmar authorities describe her as a "special female prisoner" for the first time.
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.
