What is the immediate cause of the increased airstrikes?

The coalition’s official military communiqué from March 12, 2024, cites the escalation of hostilities by a designated militant group as the immediate cause of the increased airstrikes. This surge followed the group’s recent attacks on civilian infrastructure, which the report says violate Article 7.2 of the regional security framework. The geopolitical context involves a shift in regional power balance due to the group's territorial advances, prompting coalition forces to act in self-defense and stabilize the area. The information source is the coalition's public operations report, accessible via their official defense portal.

FINAL: The immediate cause is the militant group's attacks on civilian infrastructure.
