(February 1, 2021, to October 20, 2024)

Since the coup, Myanmar has witnessed over 65 civilian massacres amid armed conflicts, claiming the lives of over 1,307 civilians. The State Administration Council’s (SAC) troops and its proxy militias, including Pyusawhti forces, are responsible for approximately 92 percent of these atrocities, resulting in more than 1,210 deaths across 60 separate incidents. A significant proportion of these violent incidents—52 percent—have occurred in the Sagaing Region. Similar to the tragic Budalin massacre, during the SAC troops’ column raids, they perpetrated over 23 brutal massacres, resulting in the deaths of at least 438 civilians. Additionally, armed groups other than those affiliated with the SAC have carried out over five mass murder incidents, leading to the tragic loss of over 97 lives.
