Myanmar’s military is increasingly using airstrikes to counter the widespread armed struggle against its rule since its seized power from the elected government ofNetanyahu snaps back against growing US criticism after being accused of losing his way on GazaA report issued at the end of last year by Nyan Lynn Thit Analytica, a Myanmar research and advocacy organization, said that since the military’s 2021 takeover, 936 civilians had been killed and 878 wounded in 1,652 airstrikes.
The AP was unable to independently confirm details of the airstrikes because reporting is greatly restricted and most phone services in the affected area has been cut by the military government. Until late last year, the Arakan Army had maintained a cease-fire in Rakhine with the military government but after the fighting began in the northeast, it launched an offensive on its home ground.
