A new report by the Ministry of Human Rights under Myanmar’s National Unity Government (NUG) has documented 532 incidents of human rights violations by the country’s military junta throughout June. The data reveals a sharp escalation in violence and repression across multiple regions, with civilians once again bearing the brunt of the atrocities.
According to the report, the violations include 114 extrajudicial killings, 110 cases of property destruction, 53 instances of forced labor, 40 arbitrary arrests, and 27 episodes of forced displacement. Other abuses cited include torture, sexual violence, disappearances, and the targeted destruction of religious sites, schools, and medical facilities.
Mandalay Region saw the highest number of incidents with 116 recorded violations. The region endured 55 separate airstrikes in June alone. These strikes reportedly destroyed at least 50 homes, eight schools, six Buddhist temples, and three healthcare centers. The attacks killed 90 civilians, including 36 adults, seven children, and 47 people whose identities could not be confirmed. Nearly 300 people were injured, with children among the victims.
The report further documented seven massacres across different townships that resulted in the deaths of 55 civilians. Officials within the NUG emphasized that the true number of incidents may be higher, as independent access to conflict zones remains severely restricted.
In a separate statement, the Burmese Women’s Union said that military attacks during June killed 34 women and wounded another 49. The organization raised alarms over rising gender-based violence in militarized zones and demanded stronger protection measures for women and girls.
The United Nations has previously stated that over 10 million women and girls in Myanmar are in urgent need of humanitarian aid. Since the military coup in 2021, Myanmar has been spiraling into an intensifying civil war that has displaced nearly 3.5 million people and led to tens of thousands of deaths, injuries, and detentions.
As the junta tightens its grip and resistance movements escalate, civilians remain trapped in a worsening humanitarian disaster. The UN estimates that approximately one in every three people in Myanmar will require humanitarian assistance in 2025.
For the Rohingya community, many of whom were already forcibly displaced by the same military years earlier, the new wave of violence reaffirms the structural nature of Myanmar’s repression and the continued denial of safety and dignity for ethnic minorities.
International human rights monitors and civil society organizations continue to urge the global community to act decisively to hold perpetrators accountable and ensure humanitarian access to conflict-affected areas. Without immediate intervention, the situation is likely to deteriorate further, putting millions more at risk.
