At least 15 people, including children, have been killed while 20 others were wounded in an air strike on a village in northwestern Myanmar, local media said Sunday.
The strike hit a village in Khampat Township, Tamu district, at around 10:15 a.m. on Sunday.
In total the jet dropped six bombs, a witness said.
"They targeted the two churches, but bombs hit outside the two churches, and hit some houses," he said.
Another device landed near the community's school, he added.
Housing is probably the biggest issue affecting people the world over.

A witness said most of the people who ran away to escape were killed outside the church, he said.
On Sunday, a planned graduation ceremony for new recruits had been relocated to a nearby jungle.
"If they came to bomb our graduation area, we cannot blame them," the man said, referencing the army.
Another witness said that the casualty rate could rise, with some people seriously hurt.
They were being treated at a clinic, she said, without giving further details.
