Myanmar military escalates civilian killings, monitor warns
ACLED documents 12+ mass-killing incidents by the military in H1 2026 (450+ civilians dead) with intensified aerial bombing since the March command restructure; the junta holds ~21% of territory against ~42% resistance-held, with ~5.2M displaced and a loyalist installed as commander-in-chief after an opposition-banning election. Gold-standard conflict monitor; confidence up.

Junta forces advanced in at least three columns toward Phalu, Min Let Pan and Lay Kay Kaw with daily airstrikes into a 21st day of fighting against KNLA-led forces, reportedly taking heavy casualties without securing control, while the ASEAN Five-Point-Consensus track sits in 'serious deadlock' and a monitor warns of escalating civilian killings.
