Myanmar army killed over 700 civilians in six months, UN says
A new United Nations report says Myanmar’s military was responsible for the deaths of at least 702 civilians, including 153 children and 224 women, during a six-month period linked to preparations for the junta’s planned election. The report highlights continued airstrikes, attacks on civilians, and worsening humanitarian conditions since the 2021 military coup. The UN also warned that cuts to international aid are increasing the suffering of millions of people affected by the conflict, while rights abuses against the Rohingya community remain a major concern.
