And here are all the sites on an interactive Google Earth project. earth.google.com/earth/d/1FDs...
I will add to this link if any new data becomes available too.

9. 'Sawai Nala' Camp.
Approx. 34.391064Β°N 73.449336Β°E
google.com/maps/place/3...
This is the one site that has not been presented as either a slide or a handout by the IAF, so its exact location is impossible to pinpoint; it appears to be around here.
Can't say much else.

Post-strike photos that appear real on their face seem to show the site nearly completely destroyed, including one of the domes.

The perimeter as mapped includes a hospital and several schools and colleges.
The strike imagery is distant but appears to show a pretty much a hit on the Masjid, perhaps slightly to the north-west.

6. Kotli Butta site (health clinic?) 32.617123Β°N 74.505696Β°E google.com/maps/place/3...
Google calls this a Basic Health Unit site, but with no pictures or reviews. It is not listed on HDX's health-sites database or OSM. So I'm really not sure, some sources called it a 'seminary'.

5. Terakatlan Health Clinic, Sialkot.
32.360346Β°N 75.124897Β°E
google.com/maps/place/3...
This location appears to be a primary health clinic. Some nationalist bloggers are claiming it was used to 'house terrorists before crossing the border'.
Idk about that, it was a health clinic.

4. Masjid Abbas in Kotli
33.508495Β°N 73.906416Β°E

The strike-vision provided is too distant to determine the exact impact, but no reason to think it hit anything but the target.

Quadcopter-dropped munition appear to miss the target building and strike a courtyard around 50m away.

Further south, the main road from the airport to Naypyidaw has deformed and been damaged. www.google.com/maps/place/1...

In the barracks of Naypyidaw airbase, you can see a building that has split down the middle with the rupture. www.google.com/maps/place/1...

Near Naypyidaw airport, you can see a dirt track (or irrigation infrastructure) that has been split by the rupture, with a displacement of around >6m. Nearby, a sealed road has split too.

The new satellite imagery to the right of the surface rupture is perfectly aligned with the historical Google imagery. On the left, you can see the rupture and offset.

High-res satellite imagery released as part of the emergency response to the Burmese earthquakes shows the exact location of the surface rupture of the strike-slip. On the outskirts of Tharzi. google.com/maps/place/2..

various open data programs by satellite companies, that map is mostly Planet imagery, but I've also been looking at Maxar and Airbus released imagery

Yep, just by hand and visual interpretation. Unfortunately I've just had time to manually identify the damage points and not add metadata yet. EERI is welcome to any of it though!

The IDP mapping is a late addition so it is not as comprehensive yet as everything else, but working on it.

No imagery is available yet for most of East Mandalay City or Naypyidaw. I will add it whenever possible.

In total it shows around 140 structures damaged/destroyed (excluding ~330 destroyed by fire - not mapped per structure).
It has around 60 high-priority rescue sites where large apartment complexes have collapsed, or gathering places (mosques, schools, monasteries etc.) have been destroyed.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Here are two neighbouring villages in Burma, the first under Resistance Control, the second under Military Junta control. Where would you prefer to live?

Recent satellite imagery from Jan shows the resistance-aligned Kachin Independence Army establishing fortified frontlines on the outskirts of the Kachin capital, Myitkyina (close to Waingmaw town). For much of the war, the resistance has been asymmetrical. Now not as much.

Photos of captured ammo show that ammo manufactured as recently as last month is already appearing on the battlefield. The capture, destruction or disruption of Junta ammo factories would have major, nationwide ramifications almost immediately.

Drone footage from the Burmese Junta shows the Resistance-aligned Arakan Army taking up positions around Nyaung Ko Village, 15km from the Directorate of Defence Industries Factory complex #9, a significant ammo factory for Junta troops across the country.

Following the collapse of TNLA and SAC talks in Burma, the resistance group has restarted their offensive on the major artillery command in Taung Hkam. Sit-Tat strike footage shows that they have already reached Manmaw village and isolated the two garrisons in the command.

Note that the map of captures only shows the border outposts in Karenni that were captured, and not the vast number of positions elsewhere in the state and nearby.
