Myanmar Junta Offensive in Nattalin Township

On April 5, 2026, Myanmar junta forces initiated a multi-column offensive in Bago Region’s Nattalin Township, utilizing heavy artillery and drone strikes. Mizzima reported that the operation targeted at least 15 villages, including Kantharyar and Kyunlaypin, forcing approximately 7,000 civilians to flee into makeshift forest camps. The military’s use of unconventional aerial tactics, such as motorized paragliders to drop explosives, has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis, leaving displaced populations without access to clean water or medical supplies.
