In Burma, a United Nations investigation has found the Burmese military is increasingly committing war crimes, ranging from sexual violence to mass executions. The crimes also include the indiscriminate targeting of civilians with bombs, the burning of homes and buildings, and at times the destruction of entire villages.

In April, at least 165 people, including children and babies, were killed after Burmese military jets rained fire and bombs on the village of Pazigyi. It was one of the deadliest attacks on civilians since the military junta seized power in a 2021 coup. Burmese armed forces claimed they were targeting terrorists.
