We condemn the Myanmar military's continued use of airstrikes against civilians and civilian infrastructure, including healthcare facilities. We are particularly concerned by reports that the military has continued to attack healthcare facilities after the recent earthquake. Since the coup in 2021, the UK has announced ten sanctions specifically targeting the military's ability to procure aviation fuel.
