The NUG has issued a directive against engaging children in combat operations. Some groups that are not its affiliates continue to deploy children as fighters.
In 2022, 165 children died at the hands of Myanmar's military Junta. As per data shared by the nation's exiled opposition National Unity Government (NUG), this year saw a 78 per cent uptick in the number of deaths of children from 2021.
Myanmar's local media has chalked this number to artillery attacks targeting forces resistant to the Junta.
