At least 1,943 attacks on health care and incidents obstructing access to medical services have been documented across Myanmar between the February 2021 military coup and June 4, 2026, according to a new report by Insecurity Insight.

The figure is equivalent to an average of roughly one attack on health care every day over the past five years.

The organization attributed 65% of the documented incidents to the Myanmar military. During the reporting period, at least 175 health workers were killed and 932 were arrested.

The report, Attacks on Health Care in Myanmar, which compiles incidents recorded between June 10 and June 23, also documented at least 509 incidents involving damage to health facilities.

In 2026 alone, at least seven health workers have been killed by explosive weapons. Five of those deaths occurred in three separate airstrikes carried out by the Myanmar military, while two others were killed by roadside landmine explosions in Bago and Magway regions.

On June 11, Myanmar military forces captured a local resistance base near Yan Lin Phine village in Sagaing Region’s Tamu Township. The seized compound reportedly included a temporary clinic and 10 other buildings.

On June 14, resistance forces intercepted an X-ray machine being transported along the Myitkyina–Putao road. The resistance group said the equipment was intended for a military hospital, while doctors at Putao District Hospital said it was destined for a civilian public hospital.

The report also said that on June 19, junta security forces allegedly lured and arrested a health worker who had joined the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) on a road between Aye Thar Yar and Inle Lake in southern Shan State.

According to reports cited by Insecurity Insight, the detainee was taken to a military security office in Taunggyi, where they were interrogated under torture.

On the night of June 23, Myanmar military airstrikes on Kant Kaw Taung village in Gwa Township, Rakhine State, damaged an ambulance and two houses, injuring at least four people.

Insecurity Insight warned that hospitals, mobile clinics and humanitarian health operations in Myanmar are increasingly at risk from attacks involving armed drones.

The organization has therefore published safety guidance in both Myanmar and English for health workers, outlining precautions to take when drones are detected, during attacks, and while working inside or outside health facilities.

Insecurity Insight noted that the incidents documented in the report are based on publicly available information. The organization said the cases have not all been independently verified on the ground and do not necessarily represent every attack that occurred during the reporting period.
