War Against the Junta

The AA and Ayeyarwady PDFs gain ground in the foothills of the Arakan Mountains after fierce clashes with junta forces trying to halt their eastward advance.

The armed group is inflicting casualties on the regime forces around the Irrawaddy delta, according to displaced civilians.

Dozens of regime forces were captured or killed when they swarmed out from their fastness in resistance-dominated Katha.

The junta base in Padaung Township is a crucial defense en route to a cluster of regime arms factories on the Irrawaddy River.

The armed group continues to advance around the Rakhine State capital as the regime reinforces the city and the major Min Gan naval base.

Natogyi People’s Defense Force and its allies reportedly attacked around 200 regime soldiers in Natogyi Township, detaining two officers.

Civilian deaths are mounting in Shan border town as regime forces intensify their bombardment.   

The Indian Ocean port of Kyaukphyu has attracted large-scale Chinese investment.

Fighting with the Arakan Army is encircling the Rakhine State capital as the regime stops residents from leaving.

The military regime has intensified air and artillery assaults on Ta’ang rebel-held areas in northern Shan State, presumably to improve its negotiating position.
