Investigators say Myanmar’s military has escalated airstrikes against civilians

According to a United Nations investigative report released Tuesday, Myanmar's military has escalated aerial attacks targeting civilians amidst its ongoing conflict with armed, anti-government groups. Investigators found that the military is increasingly utilizing low-cost aircraft, specifically motorized paragliders and gyrocopters, to carry out these deadly strikes.

The deployment of these alternative aircraft represents a tactical shift in the military's air campaign against opposition forces, resulting in rising civilian casualties in the embattled regions.
