Displaced villagers in Myanmar have built bunkers made of earth and sandbags to protect themselves from attacks by their own ruling government. The military government has been fighting armed rebel groups since staging a coup in 2021 that overthrew the democratically elected government. Experts say the junta relies on near-daily air strikes in Kayah state, targeting rebels, but affecting civilians as well. One villager said the bunkers offer protection, but their safety is not always guaranteed.
