联合国独立调查机制发布报告指控缅甸军方在与反政府武装组织的冲突中升级空袭行动[1]。该调查机制进行了为期一年的调查，收集了1600多个信息源和证人的证据[1]。根据调查，缅甸军方越来越多地使用超轻型飞行器（如动力滑翔伞和旋翼机）进行低空轰炸，造成平民伤亡[1]。
8月1日至11日期间，反政府武装组织阿拉干军称军方空袭造成约20名平民死亡、22人受伤[1]。调查指出，其中一次攻击涉及最多8架飞机，持续约一小时[1]。缅甸军方采取"双点攻击战术"，即第二次打击跟随第一次，瞄准急救人员和试图逃离的人[1]。在上萨甘地区的事件中，动力伞飞行员在接近目标时关闭引擎，使飞行器无声滑翔，让平民几乎无法警告和躲避[1]。
调查机制领导人尼古拉斯·库姆吉安表示："我们收集的每一证据背后都是生命被这些犯罪摧毁的人"[1]。据政治犯援助协会统计，自2021年以来，超过8000名平民被杀，超过31000人被缅甸安全部队逮捕[1]。
A United Nations independent investigative mechanism released findings indicating that Myanmar's armed forces have intensified airstrikes during their conflict with opposition armed groups, increasingly deploying ultralight aircraft such as powered paragliders and rotorcraft to conduct low-altitude bombing runs that have resulted in civilian casualties [1]. According to the Arakan Army and other opposition forces, military airstrikes between August 1 and 11 killed approximately 20 civilians, with 22 others wounded, and one attack involved up to eight aircraft operating continuously for about an hour [1].
The year-long investigation gathered evidence from more than 1,600 information sources and witnesses [1]. The military has employed double-tap strike tactics, wherein a second strike follows the first to target rescue personnel and fleeing civilians [1]. In operations near Upper Sagaing, powered paraglider pilots have shut down their engines as they approach targets, allowing the aircraft to glide silently and giving civilians almost no warning to escape [1]. Nicholas Koumjian, the head of the investigative mechanism, stated: "Behind every piece of evidence we have collected are people whose lives have been destroyed by these crimes" [1]. Since 2021, more than 8,000 civilians have been killed and over 31,000 people have been arrested by Myanmar's security forces, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners [1].
