Recent developments in Myanmar have escalated tensions and violence, particularly along the Thai border. The conflict involves Myanmar's military junta and rebel forces, which has been complicated by the use of Russian aircraft, including MiG-29 jets and Mi-35 helicopter gunships, by the regime. This military action has led to significant delays in India's efforts to repatriate undocumented refugees who fled the violence. Additionally, ASEAN foreign ministers have called for an immediate cessation of violence, expressing concern for civilian safety. The United Nations has also highlighted the severe threat to civilians in Rakhine State, urging influential countries to intervene and protect the population.
