Junta Airstrikes in Sagaing Region Displace 8,500
On March 27, 2026, Myanmar military (SAC) jets conducted multiple airstrikes targeting village clusters in the Sagaing Region suspected of harboring PDF resistance groups. According to the Myanmar Witness group, the strikes destroyed over 100 homes, forcing 8,500 villagers to flee into nearby forests and makeshift jungle camps. The displacement is categorized as urgent due to the lack of food and medical supplies available to those hiding from continued aerial surveillance. Source: The Irrawaddy.
