Myanmar Witness

MW investigators were the first to verify the sighting of a Russian-made Su-30 on the tarmac in Myanmar.

17 claims involving the burning of victims or their bodies in Myanmar (July 2021 - August 2022). This list is not exhaustive and includes some credible but unverified claims where further evidence is required.

Vehicle Burning can seem insignificant when compared to other reports coming out of Myanmar.

We have been working with the BBC in order to publish an investigation into the events at Kani Township in July 2021.

There were multiple reports of villages and towns being set on fire in Myanmar during September 2021.

However, some of the videos that were going viral were from different countries or different moments in time altogether.

The village of Kinma (Pauk township, Magway region) was heavily damaged by fires following clashes between SAC forces and local fighters. Photos circulated on social media have been geolocated by Myanmar Witness to the village, and correspond with the location of the heat signature of the fire picked up by NASA. There are reports of 2, and potentially 4 casualties.
