AERIAL ATTACKS CARRIED OUT BY THE MILITARY COUNCIL
(SEPTEMBER-DECEMBER 2024)
Research Methodology
The analysis delves into the civilian casualties and the devastation inflicted upon
hospitals, schools, and religious structures as a result of the Military Council's
airstrikes during the period spanning from September to December 2024. This
report relies on press releases from revolutionary organizations, as well as
information from a wide array of independent news media outlets. The data
presented herein has been meticulously compiled from a comprehensive array of
40 reputable news outlets, alongside official announcements from various
revolutionary organizations.
The incidents of airstrikes mentioned in the report are calculated based on the
number of places where airstrikes are carried out. One incident is counted if the
airstrikes are conducted in one location on the same day. In cases where airstrikes
occur in two different places on the same day, each incident is accurately
accounted for as an individual event. If the frequency of airstrikes for an incident

Introduction
Since the onset of the Spring Revolution in February 2021, the Military Junta has
not only directed its aerial attacks towards the military base area of Ethnic
Revolutionary Organizations, People's Defence Forces, but has also extended its
targets to the gathering spots of civilians, health infrastructures, educational
institutions, places of worship, residential complexes, and even the temporary
shelters provided for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
As per comprehensive observations, the Military Junta predominantly employs a
variety of aerial assets, including fighter jets, helicopters, drones and training
aircrafts for various purposes. These include (1) carrying out aerial operations, (2)
conducting airstrikes during ground offensives, (3) executing aerial attacks when
their military bases or columns are attacked (4) gathering information through
reconnaissance, (5) replenishing/relocating troops and (6) transporting military
resources.
