Myanmar has been in a state of civil war since the military coup in February 2021, when the army overthrew the elected government and seized power. Since then, the ruling military junta has been fighting multiple resistance forces across the country, creating a constant conflict zone update and a grim situation on the ground for civilians. In Kachin State and the Sagaing Region, the junta is conducting field operations against: 1. the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) — an ethnic armed group seeking autonomy, 2. People’s Defense Forces (PDF) — local resistance units formed after the coup. Alongside regular troops, the junta uses pro-government militias, including the Warazup militia and the Shanni Nationalities Army, to attack rebel-held areas, further complicating the operational environment. The fighting is part of a wider internal war in which the military relies on force and allied militias to suppress resistance, while affected communities face ongoing displacement, airstrikes, and widespread destruction. This serves as war documentation and a field report on urban frontline areas, the humanitarian situation, and the conflict impact on cities and rural regions alike.
