The explosion caused injuries to four women, damaged two school buildings, and destroyed several civilian homes.

The statement added that the junta also carried out another aerial bombardment this morning on Homine Village in Nansan Township, and that details of casualties are still being investigated.

In addition, 108 houses, 3 schools, 2 monasteries, 4 dormitories, and 4 other buildings were damaged or destroyed.

According to an official statement released today by the Karen National Union (KNU), seven newly conscripted soldiers from Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) 75 have defected and surrendered to the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) in Le Do Township, under Kawthoolei Administrative District (Khalelwihtu District).

The defectors are identified as:

• Kyaw Zeyar (22)

• Aung Myo Oo (36)
• Si Thu Hein (20)
• Maung Mhawt (26)
• Than Naing Oo (33)

They surrendered to KNLA Battalion 9 on October 15.

According to the KNU statement, these soldiers had completed basic military training courses Nos. 7, 10, and 13, and among them, Than Naing Oo and Yaza Htet were forcibly conscripted civilians who had been sold and coerced into military service by the junta.

Although the defectors could not bring their weapons due to difficult circumstances, local KNLA authorities in Le Do Township have provided them with shelter, food, and clothing, and are ensuring their safety and wellbeing.

The KNU urged all junta soldiers—particularly those forcibly conscripted under the illegal military regime—to lay down their arms and defect to nearby revolutionary forces whenever possible, stressing that the resistance welcomes all who wish to escape the junta’s oppressive military system.

Myanmar Domestic News Updates – Oct 17, 2025 Evening

📌📌 1. Myanmar Facing a Human-Made Catastrophe, Says Myanmar’s UN Ambassador
October 17

Myanmar’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun, stated that Myanmar is facing a grave human-made catastrophe.

Speaking at the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly’s Legal Committee under the agenda “Protection of Civilians in the Face of Disasters,” the Ambassador explained that the suffering of Myanmar’s people stems from the unlawful actions of the military junta, which has deliberately targeted and destroyed the lives, homes, and livelihoods of civilians.

He emphasized that it is the primary duty of any government to protect its people and provide humanitarian assistance without discrimination, and that international aid should be allowed to reach affected populations swiftly and unhindered. Instead, he noted, the military has wilfully obstructed humanitarian assistance, exploited crises for profit, and violated this responsibility.

Ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun warned that simultaneous natural disasters and armed conflicts have led to severe human rights violations and immeasurable suffering, leaving the country in an irreparable humanitarian situation.

He stressed that Myanmar’s current situation is a clear and striking example of such human-made disaster, caused by the military junta’s illegal actions and deliberate disregard for civilian welfare.

At a time when Myanmar is struggling to recover from the widespread devastation caused by the recent 7.7-magnitude earthquake, the junta has continued its aerial bombardments on villages in Sagaing and Mandalay Regions, the areas hardest hit by the quake.

He pointed out that Myanmar’s people are now enduring not only natural disasters but also the man-made catastrophe created by the junta’s violent oppression, which has plunged them into deeper misery and poverty.

Ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun concluded by urging the international community to stand firmly with the people of Myanmar—who are striving to build a Federal Democratic Union—and to prevent the junta’s sham election, stressing that accountability, responsibility, justice, and the restoration of democracy are the only pathways toward lasting peace and human dignity.

========================

📌📌 2. Myanmar UN Ambassador Urges International Community to Stop Supplying Arms and Dual-Use Goods to the Military Junta
October 17

Myanmar’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun, has urged the international community to stop selling weapons, jet fuel, and dual-use materials—items that can be used for both military and civilian purposes—to the military junta, to help save lives and end the people’s suffering.

He made this appeal during the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly’s Disarmament and International Security Committee (First Committee), in a speech addressing international peace and security issues.

He explained that although Myanmar does not possess weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), the country is witnessing daily civilian deaths and destruction caused by the use of conventional weapons.

The Ambassador noted that such conventional arms, when placed in the hands of dictators and abusers of power, have caused countless civilian deaths across history.

He further highlighted that the junta continues to receive weapons, ammunition, aircraft, and dual-use technologies from certain UN member states, thereby enabling its ongoing atrocities and crimes against humanity.

U Kyaw Moe Tun warned that the junta, having lost ground battles, has intensified aerial attacks, and its misuse of dual-use technologies raises serious concerns about its motives—especially in light of its disingenuous rhetoric about “peaceful use of nuclear energy” and “peaceful use of outer space.”

He therefore urged all UN member states and the international community to stop the sale, transfer, and provision of weapons, jet fuel, dual-use equipment, and associated technologies to the Myanmar military junta, emphasizing that doing so is crucial to saving lives and ending the people’s immense suffering.

📌📌 3. MDSI: Junta Now Operating 27 Military Training Schools Using Unlawfully Detained Youths as Recruits
October 17

The Myanmar Defense and Security Institute (MDSI) reported today that the junta now operates 27 military training schools where unlawfully detained and forcibly recruited youths are being trained.

According to MDSI’s statement, the junta has expanded the number of training institutions to absorb the growing number of detainees it has forcibly recruited. These include auxiliary units such as the Field Artillery Training School, the Defense Martial Arts and Sports Science Academy, and the No. 57 Naval Training Unit.

However, due to ongoing intense battles, the training at certain sites—such as Saktha-2 and Tatkat-13 in Thabeikkyin Township, Saktha-8 in Shwebo, and Tatkat-13 in Kale Township—has reportedly been temporarily suspended for security reasons.

The statement added that fifteen major training schools located in Shan State, Yangon Region, Ayeyarwady Region, Mon State, Naypyidaw, Mandalay Region, and Bago Region—areas still under firm military control—serve as the junta’s primary centers for conducting weekly conscript training programs.

In addition to the conscription training, the junta is also conducting basic military training for new recruits at these bases.

According to MDSI, training programs have already been conducted up to the 17th batch, covering locations such as:

• Basic Military Training Battalion Saktha-9,
• Advanced Training School Tatkat-11,
• Officer and NCO Training School Yatkat-2,
• Defense Computer and Technology Institute,
• Officer Training School Ba Htoo,
• Field Artillery Training School Hka A Ka,
• Defense Martial Arts and Sports Science Academy Ta Ka A, and
• No. 57 Naval Training Unit.

As of October 10, the junta had completed training up to the 15th batch and was preparing to open the 18th batch soon.

MDSI noted that the military has been using various coercive methods to exceed its monthly recruitment targets and is expanding its training facilities in order to sustain continuous cycles of forced military conscription and training.
