In the battle for Bawlakhe city in Karenni State, Major Myo Min Thu and numerous soldiers from the military council were killed, as confirmed by KA Military Chief Colonel Bone Naing. During the battle, many military council soldiers were captured alive, and a significant amount of weapons and ammunition were seized. This battle represents a significant victory for local civilians and has weakened the military council’s control in the region.
The military council has implemented new restrictions regarding the deployment of workers to Thailand. Employment agencies are now limited to sending only 50 workers per job posting once per month, as officially announced by the military council. These restrictions will significantly impact employment opportunities for civilians seeking work in Thailand.
In Thaton Township, Mon State, a former serviceman named Kyaw Zaw and his daughter-in-law, who were recruiting young people for forced military service on behalf of the military council, were reportedly shot dead. The military council continues its efforts to forcibly recruit young people for military service, facing resistance from local communities. Such forced recruitment practices violate international law and constitute human rights violations.
