At Least 38 Civilians Killed, 15 Injured and 370 Homes Burned: Evidence of Ground and Aerial Attacks by LIDs 101 and 99 in Myaing and Pauk
--------------------
This investigation was conducted through a combination of field-based interviews, incident documentation, on-site observations, photographic evidence and cross-checking with local early-warning and flight-spotter information. Our researchers interviewed 11 individuals, including victims’ family members, eyewitnesses, residents, humanitarian and civil society actors and local sources familiar with the movement and activities of the military column. Information collected through interviews was assessed against incident records, photographs, videos, casualty information, property-destruction records and, where available, physical evidence such as remnants of mortar rounds. Our researchers reviewed 117 photos and 11 videos obtained from several sources. The investigation focused on incidents occurring between 23 June and 8 August 2026 in Myaing Township and neighbouring areas of Pauk Township.
