TJ and Human Rights

During the reporting period, we documented 178 cases. These included 146 incidents involving attacks on civilians, 56 extrajudicial killings, 18 arbitrary arrests and detentions, 13 attacks on religious and cultural properties, four cases of gender-based violence, three forced disappearances and two child rights violations.

Significantly, in early 2026, the widespread use of drones against civilians and civilian objects in its [Tatmadaw] offensive aerial attacks reveals a pattern of violence that may amount to war crimes under international law. Landmines also emerged as an increasingly serious threat to civilians during the reporting period. Most recorded landmine explosions occurred in civilian areas, including villages and farmland in Chaung U, Salin, Myaing and Yesagyo townships, following Tatmadaw military raids.
