Military council air forces will continue their aerial operations during the traditional Myanmar New Year Thingyan holiday period, according to a military source in Naypyidaw. The public is urged to remain vigilant against potential air strikes during the Thingyan festival period. The warning emphasizes that aerial attacks may target civilian areas, requiring extra caution from residents. These continued military operations during a traditional holiday period demonstrate the ongoing threats faced by civilians across the country.
In Kalay Township, Sagaing Region, revolutionary alliance forces have successfully captured a military council outpost in Kyan Thar village. The operation resulted in the recovery of 15 military council soldiers’ bodies, as confirmed by CNA spokesperson Salai Htet Ni. Additionally, significant amounts of weapons and ammunition were seized during the offensive. This successful operation has further weakened the military council’s control in the region, marking another strategic victory for resistance forces in their ongoing struggle against the military regime.
Following the recent Sagaing earthquake in Myanmar, a fire broke out at Mandalay University, destroying approximately 400,000 matriculation exam answer sheets. In response to this incident, military council leader Min Aung Hlaing has ordered students in Mandalay, Sagaing, Kachin State, and Naypyidaw regions to retake their examinations. This requirement for exam retakes places an additional burden on students and potentially impacts their educational opportunities, highlighting the continuing challenges faced by Myanmar’s youth under the current circumstances.
