Unprecedented violence escalates as Myanmar military ramps up deadly airstrikes against resisting civilians

Pro-democracy protesters in Myanmar have faced increasing violence and bombings by the military this year, resulting in thousands of deaths.
An estimated 65,000 fighters are using guerrilla tactics against military targets in resistance to the ongoing military coup that began in 2021.
At least 130 people were killed in a recent airstrike targeting a ceremony, and nearly two dozen members of a resistance group have been killed in attacks this year.
Military air attacks, including the use of fighter jets and helicopters, have intensified in 2023 with at least 25 airstrikes across Myanmar so far this year.
The international community has been called on to take action against the junta, including economic sanctions, an arms embargo, and restricting aviation fuel, as the situation escalates.
