Junta forces have conducted nearly 200 air strikes on schools across Myanmar since the military seized power in a February 2021 coup d’état, according to a Radio Free Asia tally.

The air strikes destroyed 146 educational facilities, including universities, public schools and monastic schools, in Sagaing, Magway and Mandalay regions, and in Kayin, Rakhine, Chin, Kachin and Kayah states, which have seen fighting by resistance forces that oppose junta rule.
