The Ta'ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) released a statement on Wednesday calling on the international community and foreign governments, including the United Nations and China, to help urgently stop the war crimes being committed by Myanmar's military regime across the country.

The TNLA is calling for an end to the regime's war crimes, which the ethnic armed groups said include deliberately targeting residential areas, schools, markets, religious buildings, hospitals, hotels, guesthouses, and workplaces in various Myanmar towns and villages.

"We appeal to international governments, including the United Nations and the People's Republic of China, to help stop the international war crimes committed by Myanmar's military regime as soon as possible," the TNLA statement reads.

The statement said that during June and July, the junta has been dropping bombs daily from fighter jets on civilian areas in the towns of Nawnghkio, Kyaukme, Hsipaw, Kutkai, Monglone and Mogok.

Earlier this month, airstrikes by the military regime in Kyaukme, Mongngot, Nawnghkio, Hsipaw and Mogok townships killed two children and 13 men, as well as injuring four children, 35 men and nine women.

The TNLA is urging people across the country, including the Ta'ang region, to take precautions and build bomb shelters to protect themselves from the dangers of airstrikes by the military regime.

"Myanmar's military regime is committing war crimes with the help of China and Russia, which is getting worse. The international community is still turning a blind eye to these actions of Myanmar's military regime without taking effective action. That is why Myanmar's military regime is committing illegal war crimes," said a military and political observer.

Analysts say the failure of international judicial mechanisms to take effective action against the military regime could lead to the commission of even more egregious crimes.More than 7,000 people including democracy activists and average civilians have been killed by the military regime and its allies in Myanmar since the 2021 military coup, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP).
