Junta air-strikes killed over 170 people across Burma in January, a fourfold increase [6] over the previous month, according to an analysis by The Irrawaddy, an independent exile-based newspaper [7] that maintains a network of reporters on the ground. The strikes hit villages, health facilities, a prison and a gold mine in various areas held by the resistance, although most of those killed were civilians. More than 1,800 people [8] have been killed in air-strikes since the February 2021 coup. (TNH [10])
