Myanmar Rebels Claim Jet Downing; Military Disputes

In Myanmar, a group of rebels said they shot down a military airplane.

This is a big deal because the military usually has the upper hand with their air force.

The military, however, says the plane crashed because it had engine trouble, not because it was shot down.

The rebels said they shot the plane down after a fight in an area called Sagaing.

People on social media saw pictures of the plane on fire.

The military says they are now checking out what happened at the crash site.

This event happened during a civil war that started after the military took over the government in 2021.
