Reports

On 28 September 2026, a reported airstrike in Kyauktaw town, Rakhine State, caused widespread damage in a civilian area and reportedly resulted in more than 50 deaths. Myanmar Witness investigation examines available evidence relating to the incident, including damage and reported civilian impact.

Myanmar Witness has documented 170 reported landmine and ERW incidents across 12 regions and states between April 2025 and March 2026. Landmines and other types of explosive remnants of war (ERW) continue to affect civilians across Myanmar, not only in areas of conflict but also elsewhere in everyday life.

Myanmar Witness has carried out an investigation into internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Myanmar between January and June 2025, due to the spread of internal displacement-related reports being shared online since the 1 February 2021 coup.

After the March 2025 earthquake, Myanmar’s military and resistance forces announced ceasefires to enable aid distribution. However, analysis by Myanmar Witness reveals that attacks continued despite the truce.
