[Myanmar] Explosions/Remote violence: Air/drone strike

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Myanmar military conducted airstrikes near the Sagaing-Kachin border in Indaw township on March 31, 2025, with unknown casualties. The operation occurred in a region that has seen sustained conflict between military forces and opposition groups since the 2021 coup.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether the military operations expand to areas with greater economic significance along Myanmar's northern corridors.

Watch points

• Monitor for expanded military operations that could affect overland trade routes between Myanmar and China through Kachin State
• Watch for civilian displacement patterns that might disrupt local agricultural production or transportation networks in the broader Sagaing region
