Myanmar civil war (2021–present)
The Myanmar civil war is the armed conflict that followed the military coup of February 2021, in which the army overthrew Aung San Suu Kyi's elected government. The People's Defence Forces of the opposition National Unity Government and long-established ethnic armed organisations fight the junta; their Operation 1027 offensive from October 2023 took large areas in the north and east of the country.
