Summary
The Myanmar military has intensified its airstrikes in recent months, particularly targeting internally displaced persons (IDP) camps. In a series of aerial campaigns from September 3 to 6, at least 26 individuals were killed, including ten children, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region.
The airstrikes mark some of the heaviest military actions since the coup in 2021, with reports indicating indiscriminate bombardments in areas with no active fighting. One of the targeted locations was a camp in Pekhon township, where civilians, including women and children displaced by previous conflicts, were sheltering. Local witnesses and humanitarian workers have condemned the attacks, emphasizing the vulnerability of those affected and the lack of military presence in the vicinity at the time of the strikes. The situation reflects a broader pattern of violence and human rights concerns in Myanmar following the military’s takeover.
