A total of 1,152 civilians have been killed and 2,153 injured over the past two years by attacks carried out by Myanmar’s military regime and Muslim armed groups in Arakan State, according to the Humanitarian and Development Coordination Office (HDCO) of the United League of Arakan (ULA).

In its December 10 statement, the HDCO said that from November 13, 2023, to November 13, 2025, civilian casualties were caused by the military regime and Muslim armed groups such as the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO), Arakan Rohingya Army (ARA) and Rohingya Islami Mahaz (RIM).

Among the deaths, junta airstrikes, artillery shelling and drone attacks by Myanmar Navy warships and military battalions accounted for the majority.

Of the 1,152 people killed, 1,005 were killed by the military regime and 147 by Muslim armed groups, the HDCO said.

Women made up 39.4 percent of those killed, and children under 10 accounted for 7 percent. Among the injured, 40 percent were women and 9 percent were children under 10.

The HDCO recorded 2,135 people injured by military regime attacks and 18 injured by Muslim armed groups.

A total of 1,034 people were arrested during the period, including 1,004 detained by the military regime and 30 detained by Muslim armed groups.

The casualty figures do not include airstrikes that took place after November 13 in Kyauktaw, Ponnagyun, Kyaukphyu and Rathedaung townships, or Thursday’s airstrike on Mrauk-U Hospital.
