缅甸两座教堂10月遭摧毁：钦邦一座长老会教堂遭轰炸，克钦邦一座浸信会教堂被焚
据人权组织基督徒团结世界联盟（Christian Solidarity Worldwide，CSW）报告并经多家媒体10月20日汇总报道，缅甸军方本月在钦邦和克钦邦摧毁了两座教堂。10月9日下午约2时30分，两架从 Magway 空军基地起飞的军机对钦邦南部 Mindat 镇进行两轮轰炸，共投下四枚炸弹，落在镇内两处地点，其中一枚击中一座长老会教堂院落，教堂建筑被毁。报告称该次轰炸未造成人员伤亡。
10月12日下午约3时30分，缅甸军方第33和第88轻步兵师的士兵焚毁了位于克钦邦 Bhamo（又称 Banmaw）镇 Three Mile 地区 Shwe Pyi Tha Ward 的 Htingnan Kachin Baptist Church（克钦浸信会教堂）及周边民宅。克钦独立军（Kachin Independence Army，KIA）发言人 Col. Naw Bu 向《伊洛瓦底》表示，士兵在通往 Momauk 的道路旁纵火焚烧教堂，该地区当时不时发生交火。
CSW 创办主席 Mervyn Thomas 在声明中说，Mindat 长老会教堂和 Banmaw 的 Htingnan Kachin Baptist Church 被毁，是对国际人道法和宗教信仰自由的明显违反，并称礼拜场所是弱势群体的精神与社区生命线，摧毁它们是严重罪行。他呼吁国际社会采取具体措施，限制缅甸军方获取航空燃料和军事装备。
钦邦和克钦邦是缅甸基督徒占多数的地区。自2021年2月军方夺权以来，Mindat 一带多次遭受地面进攻、炮击和空袭，许多居民被迫逃离家园。CSW 的报告此前已由多家宗教新闻机构于10月中旬报道，10月20日的汇总报道再次确认了两起事件的时间、地点和涉事部队番号。
Two Churches Destroyed in Myanmar in October: Presbyterian Church Bombed in Chin State, Baptist Church Burned in Kachin State
Myanmar's military destroyed two churches in predominantly Christian areas of Chin and Kachin states this month, according to Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), in incidents summarised in reporting on October 20. On October 9, at about 2:30 p.m., two military jets that took off from an air base in Magway made two bombing runs over the town of Mindat in southern Chin State, dropping four bombs at two sites in the town. One bomb hit a Presbyterian church compound and wrecked the church building. No one was reported killed or wounded in that strike.
On October 12, at about 3:30 p.m., troops from the military's 33rd and 88th Light Infantry Divisions burned down the Htingnan Kachin Baptist Church and the houses around it. The church stood in Shwe Pyi Tha Ward, in the Three Mile area of Bhamo Township, also spelled Banmaw, in Kachin State. Col. Naw Bu, a spokesperson for the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), told The Irrawaddy that soldiers set fire to the church on the road to Momauk, and said clashes had broken out in the area from time to time.
"The destruction of the Presbyterian church in Mindat and the Htingnan Kachin Baptist Church in Banmaw are clear violations of international humanitarian law and freedom of religion or belief," CSW Founder President Mervyn Thomas said in a statement, calling places of worship spiritual and community lifelines for vulnerable populations and urging the international community to take concrete steps to restrict the military's access to aviation fuel and military equipment.
Chin and Kachin states are home to predominantly Christian ethnic communities. Mindat has faced repeated ground offensives, shelling and airstrikes since the military seized power in a February 2021 coup, and many residents have fled. CSW's account was first reported by religious news outlets in mid-October, and the October 20 roundups re-confirmed the dates, locations and units involved in both incidents.
