Conflict in Myanmar

NOT LIVE · MYANMAR RECORD RUNS 1 JAN 2024 → 27 MAY 2026

This is a verified record, not a live feed. UCDP hand-codes every event from published sources, which takes weeks — the newest event here is from 2026-05-31. For what is happening right now, LEV’s Global Incidents layer carries the machine-coded newswire at about fifteen minutes’ delay.

Between 1 Jan 2024 and 27 May 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 2,044 events of organised violence in Myanmar from published sources. Their best estimate is 6,085 people killed — and their own range runs 5,949–9,668, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.

What the record holds

DEATHS RECORDED · UCDP BEST ESTIMATE6,085

UCDP range 5,949–9,668. On 1of these events UCDP’s own bounds do not bracket its own best estimate; the range above spans everything it published rather than hiding the conflict in the figures.

EVENTS2,044

956 placed precisely enough to map; 1,088 counted but not pinned, because UCDP could place them no closer than a province.

Who was doing the killing

State-based1,764 events · 5,287 killed (UCDP range 5,205–8,761) — A government is one of the sides — a civil war or a war between states.
Non-state1 event · 5 killed — Two armed groups fight each other and neither is a government — militias, cartels, communal violence.
One-sided279 events · 793 killed (UCDP range 739–902) — An armed group or government kills civilians who are not fighting back.
