Myanmar’s military repression and airstrikes against civilians have increased significantly since a new military leadership took office, according to the conflict-monitoring group Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project, or ACLED. In a report released Monday, ACLED said the junta’s operations intensified after the military command structure was reorganized in March. Under the new army chief, forces have regularly used specialised warplanes for successive strikes on the same targets.
ACLED documented at least a dozen massacres in the first six months of 2026, in which more than 450 civilians were killed. About 40 percent of those deaths occurred in Myanmar’s central dry-zone region of Anyar. The report said Myanmar has been engulfed in civil war since the military ousted Aung San Suu Kyi’s elected government in February 2021, with about 100,000 people killed and several million displaced.
Min Aung Hlaing appointed former intelligence officer Ye Win Oo as army chief in March and later became president through an election held after opposition parties were banned. Military operations have intensified in border areas near rare mineral resources and important trade routes. ACLED said civilian suffering is unlikely to ease soon as the junta focuses on further consolidating power.
