YANGON: Myanmar's military has sharply escalated attacks on civilians since a new administration took office in the war-torn country, a conflict monitor said on Monday (July 27), even as regional governments ramp up diplomatic engagement.
The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) said the onslaught was a result of the tactics deployed by Myanmar's new military chief who took over in late March as his predecessor prepared to become the country's president.
