📈 Paramotor and gyrocopter attacks spiked ahead of Myanmar’s sham elections. There were at least 304 paramotor and gyrocopter attacks on civilians between December 2024 and 11 January 2026. In 2025, data collected by @FortifyRights shows attacks increasing from July, ahead of the junta’s August 18 election announcement, and continuing to rise in the weeks leading up to the first phase of voting on 28 December, as the military junta sought to assert authority ahead of its multi-phase sham elections.
