Myanmar's military junta launched an airstrike on Letpanhla village Friday, killing at least 12 people and destroying homes and buildings, a local official reported.

The village, located about 60 kilometers north of Mandalay, is controlled by anti-coup fighters.

"A lot of people were killed because they dropped bombs on a crowded area," a local administrative official told AFP. "It happened at the time people were going to the market."
