Myanmar Military Escalates Airstrikes Against Civilian Targets
The Myanmar military has intensified its aerial campaign, with reports of significant civilian casualties following airstrikes on August 12 and 13. UN investigators noted the military's increasing use of motorized power gliders and drones, which reduce the time civilians have to seek shelter. In response to the deteriorating humanitarian situation and continued displacement, the European Union announced an additional €10.5 million in emergency aid to support those affected by the ongoing civil war.
