  Jet fighters en route for an aerial bombing campaign against Danu People's Liberation Army positions during the earthquake dropped bombs at 12:55 MMT in Nawnghkio Township causing further damage to affected villages and killing seven soldiers. From 28 March to 5 April, military airstrikes killed at least 68 civilians and members of rebel forces. The airbase in Monywa continued operations against resistance-held Chaung-U Township, deploying a paradrop attack at 19:00 MMT on the day of the earthquake. The following day, the junta resumed aerial bombardment on territories held by resistance forces in Karen, northern Shan, Bago and Sagaing regions. The People's Defence Force, a rebel force, said they would observe a partial ceasefire for two weeks beginning on 30 March. Despite this, the junta conducted a bombing campaign in Pauk Township, Sagaing Region. An airstrike in Singu Township, Mandalay, on 31 March injured several residents and burnt down their homes. The junta also continued bombing campaigns in Rakhine State, destroying parts of the hospital in Arakan Army -controlled Ponnagyun on 28 March with Arakan Army continuing offensive operations in Kyaukphyu Township.
  
  The Three Brotherhood Alliance similarly announced a partial ceasefire on 1 April. Junta leader Min Aung Hlaing announced that evening on Myawaddy TV that he would continue military operations against the PDF and anti-junta EAOs; he claimed that they were preparing for future attacks.
  
  On 2 April, troops from the regime fired warning shots at nine trucks carrying Chinese relief items in Nawnghkio Township, Shan. That same day, the regime announced a 20-day ceasefire, but dozens of attacks were reported since then. Since 13 April, the regime has conducted at least 72 airstrikes and killed more than 100 across Sagaing, Magway, Bago, Mandalay, Karenni, Shan, Chin, Ayeyarwady, Kachin, Karen, Mon, and Rakhine. The ceasefire breach was condemned by the United Nations, which also demanded for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi who was detained by the regime.
