Myanmar Civil War Live Map 🇲🇲

This Myanmar war map tracks the civil war that followed the military coup of 1 February 2021, when the armed forces removed the elected government. Mass protests turned into armed resistance: the National Unity Government formed People's Defence Forces, and many ethnic armed organisations that had fought the military for decades stepped up their operations. Since Operation 1027 began in October 2023, resistance forces have taken towns, bases and border areas in several states. The map shows current reports of clashes, airstrikes and changes of control, giving one view of a conflict that is spread across much of the country and is often thinly covered.

Fighting is reported in many parts of Myanmar. In the north, the Kachin Independence Army operates in Kachin State, while northern Shan State has been a focus of the MNDAA and the TNLA. The Arakan Army is active in Rakhine State and parts of Chin State in the west. The Karen National Union and its armed wing, the KNLA, operate in the south-east, and Karenni resistance forces in Kayah State. In the central dry zone, regions such as Sagaing and Magway have seen intense People's Defence Force activity. The map also covers the area around Mandalay, which was hit by a powerful earthquake on 28 March 2025.

Plotted events include ground clashes, the capture or recapture of towns and military bases, airstrikes and drone attacks, artillery shelling, attacks on infrastructure, raids and arrests, reports linked to displacement, and incidents near the borders with China, Thailand, India and Bangladesh. Airstrikes affecting villages, schools, hospitals or religious buildings are recorded as reported. Events connected with the March 2025 earthquake, including damage reports and reports of military activity during the relief period, are part of the record. Each event carries a timestamp, coordinates, a category and a link to its source, so every point can be traced back to where it came from.

Coverage relies on independent Myanmar media, many of them operating in exile, statements by the military authorities and state media, the National Unity Government, ethnic armed organisations, local resistance groups, international news agencies, UN bodies and geolocated footage. Internet shutdowns and restricted access make verification hard, and reports can appear with a delay. Claims from every side, whether military announcements of losses inflicted or resistance claims of captured positions, are therefore displayed as reported and attributed to their origin. Because this is an internal civil war, all events share a single colour on the map instead of being split into opposing sides.

The map is neutral and factual: it documents what was reported, where and when, without endorsing any party. Researchers, journalists, humanitarian organisations, diaspora communities and analysts following Southeast Asia use it to follow a war that rarely gets continuous international coverage. New events are added roughly every five minutes, titles are automatically translated into English, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian, and the free dashboard keeps 30 days of history. Developers can access the same data with an API key at /v1/events?region=myanmar, and the /livemap/ tracker shows civilian ADS-B air traffic over the region, although military aircraft often do not broadcast their position.
