The military council is now implementing a nationwide surveillance system using the National Database to identify and arrest military deserters, police deserters, Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) participants, and political activists, according to military sources in Naypyidaw. This system is being used to collect personal information and track down political activists throughout the country.
In Nga Tharauk sub-township of Nyaung-U Township, Mandalay Region, revolutionary forces successfully attacked and decimated an entire military council column. Following this incident, when another military council force entered Nyaung-U Township, the combined revolutionary forces launched an interceptive attack, resulting in the deaths of 5 military council soldiers, as confirmed by a representative from the Bagan Byoe Choe group.
Despite repeatedly claiming to be the protectors of Buddhism, the military council conducted an aerial bombing attack on a monastery in Ma Kyee Pin Tae village, Thaung Tha Township, Mandalay Region, causing severe damage to the monastery buildings. Local residents point out that such targeting of religious buildings reveals the military council’s true nature. This incident particularly highlights the contradiction between the military’s claims of protecting Buddhism and their actions of destroying religious structures.
