    "headline": "Myanmar junta gyrocopters bomb a village school, killing up to 11",
    "dek": "Local counts run from eight dead to 11, with children among them. No warning reached the village, where the internet is cut. Residents say no fighters were present.",
    "prose": "Myanmar's junta bombed a school and homes in Nyaung Pin Lay village, in Kani Township.[^1] It used three gyrocopters.[^2] The strike was on 7 November.\n\n## The toll\n\nThe counts differ, and all come from local sources. Radio Free Asia reported 11 people killed, four of them children.[^3] A resistance-aligned bulletin also gave eleven dead, including teachers and children.[^4] A report on the day of the strike gave eight civilians killed and seven injured.[^5]\n\nThere is no official figure and no count from the United Nations in these reports.\n\nNo military activity was present in the village at the time, the local report said.[^6] The school building was damaged.[^7]\n\n## The warning that did not arrive\n\nThe lack of Starlink internet stopped a warning of the bombing from reaching the village in time.[^8] The military government has cut internet and phone lines in more than 40 percent of the country's townships.[^9]\n\nThe link between blackouts and airstrikes is close. From July to September, 581 military airstrikes killed at least 353 civilians.[^10] Of those, 562 took place in areas where internet service had been cut.[^11] That is 97 percent.\n\nSatellite internet has been shrinking too. SpaceX disabled more than 2,500 Starlink kits in Myanmar in October 2025 in a crackdown on scam centres.[^12] Radio Free Asia received no response from SpaceX about the effect on civilians.[^13]\n\n## The township\n\nJunta forces are trying to control the road from Monywa through Yagyi to Kalewa.[^14] On 21 October they bombed two other villages in Kani Township, killing two civilians.[^15] Tens of thousands of the township's residents are displaced.[^16]\n\n## The same two days\n\nThe school was one strike among several. An airstrike on a shelter for displaced people in Wetlet injured three civilians on the same day.[^17] The day before, an airstrike on Mazaw village killed three civilians, including a child and a disabled person.[^18] Junta troops burned hundreds of homes in Salingyi Township.[^19]\n\n## The longer count\n\nMore than 200 civilians were killed in junta airstrikes during October.[^20] From February 2021 to June 2026, the junta carried out 12,896 attacks on civilian areas.[^21] They killed 5,846 civilians.[^22]",
