At least 170 civilians killed in Myanmar air strikes during election: UN

GENEVA, Jan 30, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - At least 170 civilians were killed in more 
than 400 military air strikes conducted in Myanmar during its recent two-
month voting period, the United Nations said Friday.

"Credible sources verified that 170 civilians were killed in some 408 
military aerial attacks reported by open sources during the voting period -- 
between December 2025 and January 2026," the UN rights office said in a 
statement, adding the true figure was likely to be higher.
