Air terror expands in Kachin State

Seeking to reverse large-scale territorial losses in Kachin State, Burma’s military regime has
during the past year intensified airstrikes on civilian targets in areas controlled by the Kachin
Independence Army (KIA).
This report documents 26 airstrikes on civilians in nine Kachin State townships during the
twelve-month period between December 2024 and November 2025, causing at least 112
civilian deaths and 165 civilian injuries.
This is almost triple the number of airstrikes documented in KWAT’s previous report
“Bloodstained Gateways” during the fifteen-month period between May 2022 and July 2023,
which took place in only three Kachin townships.
The latest airstrikes have struck IDP camps, churches, monasteries, schools, shops and homes,
inflicting casualties across all age ranges, including young children and the elderly.
