Date – 27 October 2026

Since the 1 February 2021 coup, a total of (8,614) people, including pro-democracy activists and civilians, have been killed by the junta and pro-military groups during the Spring Revolution.

A total of (32,203) people have been arrested by the junta for opposing their arbitrary seizure of power. Of those arrested, (15,006) are confirmed to still be in detention, while (7,804) remain to be verified.

These are the numbers reported by the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP). The actual numbers are likely much higher. We will continue to update accordingly.

Over the past week, the junta has carried out airstrikes targeting civilian homes and public areas that are not considered military targets across the country. On October 18, an attack on the Pi Chaung Son Commercial Port in Paletwa Township, Chin State, resulted in the deaths of nine civilians. Similarly, on October 23, an airstrike in Htan Taw Village, Kantbalu Township, Sagaing Region, killed five family members. On the same day, an airstrike in Sittwe Township, Rakhine State, claimed the lives of at least five civilians. Furthermore, on October 24, an aerial bombing near Taung Yoe Village, Myaing Township, Magway Region, resulted in the deaths of three civilians.

In addition, the junta continues to launch offensives into villages, burning down houses and arbitrarily arresting locals. On October 21, junta forces forcibly arrested four local youths, including one young internally displaced person (IDP), in Kat Ku Gyi Village, Yegyi Township, Ayeyarwady Region. According to reports from the ground, junta forces launched an offensive into Ah Nauk Kan Twin Village, Seikphyu Township, Magway Region, on October 21 and stationed themselves at the local monastery.
