Regime Offensive in Pakokku District Displaces Tens of Thousands
In late June 2026, Myanmar's military regime and allied militias intensified offensives in Pakokku District, Magway Region, utilizing heavy aerial and artillery attacks. The Irrawaddy reported that villagers fled arbitrary killings and arson. While the broader crisis affects 150,000, this specific late-June wave of ground and air assaults displaced an estimated 10,000 new individuals, who sought shelter in the jungle without access to food or water.
