The junta that took power in Myanmar after the military coup on February 1, 2021, carried out an airstrike on the concert venue in Kachin state. Two military planes were said to have attacked the concert commemorating the 62nd anniversary of the establishment of the separatist Kachin Independence Army (KIA) in the Kansi region.
According to KIA Spokesperson Colonel Naw Bu, at least 50 people were killed and about 100 were injured in the attack.
Iran executed Yasin Huseynzade, who killed one and injured two at the Azerbaijani Embassy in Tehran in 2023. The Iranian judiciary confirmed the execution took place early in the morning.
The attack, which Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev called a “terrorist act,” triggered a diplomatic crisis. Baku withdrew embassy staff, and both countries expelled diplomats. Despite tensions, the Azerbaijani Embassy reopened in July 2024. Iran and Azerbaijan remain at odds over minority rights and ties with Israel.
