In Demoso Township, Kayah State, the Karenni National Defense Force (KNDF) clashed with junta troops. The KNDF said one of its fighters died and six others were injured, while the junta suffered at least 80 casualties. The military regime used fighter jets and artillery in the fighting.

In Kutkai in northern Shan State, the Brotherhood Alliance, which groups the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army, Ta’ang National Liberation Army and Arakan Army, attacked a military camp in Namt Phat Kar Village. At least 11 junta soldiers, including a deputy battalion commander, were killed in the predawn attack.
