SAC Airstrikes in Kanbalu Township
The State Administration Council (SAC) conducted a series of airstrikes on villages in Kanbalu township, Sagaing Region, on March 22, displacing 4,000 residents.

Villagers fled into nearby forests to avoid further aerial bombardment, marking a significant increase in local displacement as the military junta intensifies its scorched-earth policy in central Myanmar.
