Myanmar’s military government is facing accusations of killing dozens of civilians in villages near the ancient city of Bagan. Reports indicate at least 31 bodies have been discovered following raids conducted by junta troops. Residents claim many of the victims were vulnerable individuals, including the elderly and disabled. Some had sought refuge in local monasteries, hoping for safety. The military has not yet commented on the allegations, and independent verification remains difficult due to restricted access to the region. The incident raises further concerns about escalating violence and human rights abuses committed by the military following the 2021 coup. This latest event adds to a growing number of reports detailing atrocities perpetrated against civilians in Myanmar.
