At A Glance On Armed Struggles (3 July – 9 July 2026)
11 July 2026
Between 3 July and 9 July 2026, there were at least 149 incidents of military operations and civilian targeted attacks across the country. Among them, at least 63 incidents were military operations, and 86 incidents were civilian-targeted attacks.
At the United Nations Human Rights Council meeting held in Geneva, Switzerland, on 7 July, the British government stated that Myanmar’s military junta bears primary responsibility for human rights violations against the Rohingya and other minorities. During the session, the UK announced its support for a draft resolution concerning the human rights situation of Rohingya Muslims and other minority groups in Myanmar, emphasizing that the junta is chiefly accountable for systematic abuses. The UK representative further stressed that Rohingya and other minorities in Myanmar continue to suffer from violations committed by both the military and other armed groups. In addition, the ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR) strongly condemned the junta’s refusal to allow ASEAN Special Envoy and Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Ma. Theresa Lazaro to meet with State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, calling it a breach of ASEAN’s Five-Point Consensus on Myanmar. Following reports that Aung San Suu Kyi had been moved to house arrest, the Philippine government formally requested a meeting on 6 May. However, on 30 June, a junta spokesperson rejected the request, stating that Suu Kyi remains a convicted prisoner and therefore cannot meet with international representatives, thereby denying ASEAN’s appeal.
