The civil war in Myanmar continues to intensify in 2026, more than five years after the military coup. Fighting between the army and pro-democracy resistance groups has spread across large parts of the country.
Recent reports indicate that airstrikes by the military have caused civilian casualties and forced thousands of people to flee their homes. Human rights organizations have condemned the violence and called for international action.
The United Nations has warned that the humanitarian situation is worsening, with millions of people in urgent need of food, shelter, and medical care.
Despite international pressure, the military government has shown little willingness to negotiate, making a peaceful resolution unlikely in the near future.
