CWN Editor's Note: A Catholic church in the Chin state of northwestern Myanmar has been destroyed by air strikes by the country’s military.

The Church of Christ the King, consecrated less than two years ago, was devastated by bombing on April 8. Only the outer walls remain.

The military of Myanmar has carried out repeated air attacks in Chin, where the rebel Chinland Defense Force controls much of the territory.
