Part 3/12:
The military’s brutal tactics, reminiscent of past atrocities against the Rohingya and in ethnic minority regions, are now being used broadly against the Burmese majority. Indiscriminate air strikes, scorched-earth policies, and suppression campaigns have decimated villages—such as Pichi Village in Sagaing—resulting in hundreds of civilian casualties, including an attack in April that killed at least 165 people. The military’s aggressive use of aerial bombardment aims to crush opposition but instead fuels further resentment and resistance.
