At least 38 people, including children, have been killed and burned by the military regime in Moso village, Hpruso, Karenni State. The civilians, according to local Resistance groups, were fleeing the conflict. The NGO Save the Children released a statement confirming that two of its members are missing and their car has been burned by the military.

I have no idea how any human being can commit such atrocities. Unfortunately the Burmese military has a long history of massacres, especially against ethnic minorities.
And if left in power, these massacres will keep repeating.
The regime must fall.
