![]() The United Nations’ office in Myanmar said in a statement that it was “deeply concerned and saddened” by reports of the air strikes. It called reports of a high death toll “rumors,” and denied the military had bombed a concert and that singers and audience members were among the dead. The military government’s information office confirmed in a statement late Monday that there was an attack on what it described as the headquarters of the Kachin Independence Army’s 9th Brigade, calling it a “necessary operation” in response to “terrorist” acts carried out by the Kachin group. It was impossible to independently confirm details of the incident, though media sympathetic to the Kachin posted videos showing what was said to be the attack’s aftermath, with splintered and flattened wooden structures.
