For Immediate Release
The Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM) expresses alarm over the junta’s escalating use of airstrikes in Karen and Mon States, Burma, and calls for immediate international attention and a coordinated response to the attacks against civilians.
The military junta in Mon State has increased its drone attacks on villages in Kyaikhto Township, despite the absence of active clashes in the area. These targeted strikes have resulted in civilian injuries, the destruction of homes and public infrastructure, and considerable damage to livelihoods, including farms and businesses.
Military analysts have observed that the junta’s use of high-performance drones for targeted strikes has increased following Min Aung Hlaing’s recent visit to Russia. The primary perpetrators of these attacks are troops stationed at Light Infantry Battalion No. 207 and Artillery Regiment Command No. 310, located in Kyaikhto Township. These units are responsible for issuing and executing the majority of attack orders. As of March 15, at least seven villages in Kyaikhto Township have been repeatedly targeted, with over two dozen strikes documented.
