At least 170 civilians lost their lives in military air strikes during Myanmar’s recent election period, according to the United Nations. The UN said these attacks happened while the country carried out a tightly controlled vote that many nations and rights groups have already rejected. The UN human rights office confirmed that credible sources recorded these deaths between December 2025 and late January. During the same period, the military launched at least 408 aerial attacks across the country. Election Held Amid Ongoing Civil War Myanmar remains trapped in a civil war that began after the military seized power in 2021. The coup removed the democratically elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who remains imprisoned. Large areas of the country could not take part in the election because of ongoing fighting and insecurity. The military organized the vote in three phases, with the final round held last week. State media announced that the military backed Union and Solidarity Party won an overwhelming victory. Many observers expected this outcome due to strict controls on the voting process. Opposition Parties Barred From Voting Authorities blocked the National League for Democracy from contesting the election. The party had won landslide victories in both elections before the coup. Several opposition candidates and ethnic groups also faced exclusion. Human rights organizations believe the military plans to use proxy political parties to maintain its grip on power. UN Calls Election Staged and Fear Driven UN human rights chief Volker Turk strongly criticized the vote. He described the election as staged by the military and said it failed to meet basic democratic standards. Turk explained that fear shaped many voting decisions. People either voted or stayed home because they feared the consequences. He said this reality directly violated internationally protected civil and political rights. Air Strike Death Toll Likely Higher James Rodehaver, who leads the UN Human Rights Myanmar team, said the civilian death toll may rise. He explained that communication blackouts and fear prevent many people from reporting attacks. The UN gathered the data from open sources during the campaign period through the final voting day. Rodehaver warned that the current figures likely remain incomplete. Despite the election, violence continues across much of Myanmar. Air strikes and armed clashes show no signs of slowing, leaving civilians at constant risk.

Body Found Believed to Be Fugitive Australian Shooter in New South Wales Discovery Near Rural Area in New South Wales Police in New South Wales say a body has been found that is believed to be Julian Ingram, a man wanted for a deadly shooting incident earlier this year. The remains were located about 50 kilometers from the scene of the original crime near a remote area north west of the town linked to the case. Wildlife officers found the body beside an abandoned utility vehicle while carrying out pest control work. Authorities later confirmed that the vehicle matched the one used by Ingram during his escape. Connection to January Shooting Incident In January, Ingram was accused of killing three people in a small rural town. The victims included his former partner Sophie Quinn, her close friend, and her aunt. Quinn was seven months pregnant at the time of her death and was expecting a baby in March. Another victim survived the attack but suffered serious injuries. Police later confirmed that the injured person has since been discharged from hospital. Large Scale Police Search Operation After the killings, police launched a major search operation involving around 100 officers. Authorities described Ingram as someone with strong local knowledge, which made the search more difficult. Officials believed he could remain hidden in the region for a long period without being detected. The area where the incident occurred is sparsely populated, with only around 1,500 residents. Police Statement on the Discovery Assistant Commissioner Andrew Holland said early findings suggest the body is likely that of Ingram. He noted that clothing and identification found at the scene support this conclusion. Police also confirmed that the remains appear to have been at the location for an extended period before discovery. Holland added that the finding brings relief to the investigation and may help the local community move forward after the violent events. Investigation Status Authorities are continuing formal identification procedures. However, police say early evidence strongly suggests the search for the suspect has ended with the discovery of his body.

Modi Calls for Fuel Saving and Lifestyle Changes Amid Global Energy Pressure Rising Energy Costs Push Government Advisory Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked people in India to change daily habits as global energy prices rise due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East involving Iran. He encouraged citizens to work from home when possible and reduce unnecessary foreign travel. He also asked people to cut down on luxury spending and use resources more carefully. India imports most of its crude oil, so global supply shocks directly affect prices inside the country. The current crisis has increased import costs and put pressure on the national economy. Public Transport, Carpooling, and Lower Fuel Use Modi urged people to use public transport such as metro systems and buses instead of private vehicles. He also suggested carpooling to reduce fuel consumption. He said saving fuel is not only a personal benefit but also a national responsibility during this difficult time. Farmers were also advised to use fertilizers more carefully to manage supply shortages and rising costs in agriculture. Economic Pressure and Market Reaction The ongoing situation has already affected India’s economy. Fuel import costs have risen sharply, which has increased pressure on industries that rely heavily on energy and raw materials. Several sectors, including manufacturing and agriculture, are facing challenges. Some industries have warned of possible job losses if the situation continues. The Indian rupee has also weakened to record levels, making imports more expensive and adding pressure on inflation. Stock markets reacted quickly to the comments. The Sensex index dropped sharply in early trading as investors worried about longer economic disruption. Government Response and Political Debate So far, the government has avoided increasing petrol and diesel prices, even though state fuel companies face rising costs. Analysts believe the government may introduce stricter energy saving measures if the crisis continues. A fuel price revision is also being discussed in economic circles. Opposition leaders criticised the Prime Minister’s remarks. Rahul Gandhi said the government was shifting responsibility to citizens instead of addressing policy gaps. He argued that these statements reflect weak planning and lack of preparation for energy shocks.
