FROM THE DVB NEWSROOM

This DVB English News feature story analyzes how 2023 has seen an unprecedented number of airstrikes carried out by the Myanmar military on civilians across the country. It staged a coup in February 2021 and replaced the elected National League for Democracy (NLD) government led by Aung San Suu Kyi with a military junta led by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing. Since 2021, the military has increasingly used its air force to spread terror.
