Myanmar’s military was responsible for over 700 civilian deaths during a six-month period covering the last election, the UN said, warning that civilians continued to bear the brunt of the country’s worsening conflict.
At least 702 civilians were killed between August 2025, when the junta announced the first national election since the 2021 coup, and the end of the voting period in January 2026, a report published by the UN Human Rights Office on Monday said. Among the victims were 224 women and 153 children.
