Myanmar’s military has significantly escalated its attacks on civilians since the ruling junta reconfigured its military command structure in March. According to a report released on Monday by the conflict monitor Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), the war-torn country has experienced worsening repression and an intensified aerial bombing campaign under the new administration.

The monitor's findings highlight a sharp increase in violence directed at the civilian population amidst ongoing instability in the country. The escalation in military operations coincides with a concurrent diplomatic push by regional governments, which are actively ramping up diplomatic engagement in response to the deteriorating situation.
