According to the security public opinion report released by Hanwei International, a total of 83 representative security incidents of various types were recorded in Myanmar in November 2025, 25 fewer than those in October. These incidents resulted in 54 deaths and 136 injuries. Among the categorized security incidents, armed conflicts and shootings accounted for the majority. Most incidents occurred in Shan State, Mandalay Region, and other areas (for detailed data analysis, please refer to the Myanmar November Risk Monthly Report).
Hanwei International analyzes that Myanmar’s general election is in full swing with the multi-party democratic election progressing in an orderly manner. However, various forces are still waiting for opportunities to act, and the future situation of Myanmar remains uncertain. Statistics show that the number of security incidents, as well as the death toll and injury count, decreased compared with the previous month. This is mainly because the reduction in the number of security incidents led to fewer casualties.
