Myanmar Military Escalates Civilian Killings, Monitor Warns, Amid Diplomatic Push The latest escalation of violence in Myanmar has left a trail of blood soaked streets, shattered dreams, and a haunting question: can diplomacy succeed where bullets have failed?
The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED) project paints a grim picture of a military that's doubled down on its attacks against civilians since March, using airpower to devastating effect.
The data reveals that 450 civilians were killed in mass killings during the first half of this year alone. Most fell victim to airstrikes and special jet fighter groups.
