The rescued detainees included three resistance members from CDF-Hakha, two from the Chin National Army (CNA), and ten civilians who had been unlawfully detained by the junta, bringing the total number of those freed to 15.

Following the attack, junta troops reinforced their positions and tightened security within Hakha Town, firing heavy weapons indiscriminately toward the outskirts of the city.

The incident occurred at around 7:00 a.m. on October 16, when a military column of around 25 soldiers entered Aloo Lay Village from the direction of the double-story factory area.

According to the report, at around 7:30 a.m. on October 16, junta forces dropped two 250-pound bombs on the area.

🚩🚩 7. Junta Troops Burned Down Civilian Homes, Rice Barns, IDP Shelters, and Farm Huts in Ywangan Township; Civilians Arrested

October 16, Radio NUG

According to a statement by the Shan Human Rights Foundation, since the last week of July 2025, around 500 junta troops under Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) 55 based in Kalaw and LIB 99 based in Meiktila have conducted a series of “clearance operations” in western Ywangan Township, near the Ywangan–Meiktila border, leading to clashes with People’s Defense Forces (PDF) from the last week of July to mid-August.

On August 18, junta forces dropped two bombs on Kyaut Taw Village and one bomb on Nyaung Pin Thar Village from aircraft, destroying several civilian homes. From August 19 to 21, junta troops stationed in Pyi Nyaung Village, Tharsi Township, Mandalay Region, fired numerous 155mm howitzer shells toward the forested hills where displaced civilians from Kyaut Taw and Nyaung Pin Thar had fled for safety. On August 21, junta aircraft dropped three additional bombs on both villages.

In the first week of September, about 100 junta troops, including soldiers from LIB 55 and local militia members under their command, entered the forests near Min Palaung Village, where displaced villagers had taken refuge after their homes were burned down in December 2024. The civilians were forced to flee once again.

On September 13, approximately 120 junta soldiers under LIB 99 re-entered Kyaut Taw Village and set fire to farm huts located on the village outskirts. They continued torching properties on September 14 and 15, burning down 23 more houses and 90 rice barns, causing an estimated damage of 150 million kyats.

On September 15, the column advanced into the hills and forests near Kyaut Taw, where they discovered a cave sheltering displaced civilians. Six people were arrested and taken away to Meiktila, according to reports.

In the last week of September, junta troops destroyed five more temporary huts belonging to displaced Kyaut Taw villagers living in the forest.

Currently, junta forces remain stationed in Kyaut Taw and Nyaung Pin Thar villages, while around 500 displaced civilians continue to hide in nearby forests, too afraid to return home. They are in urgent need of food, shelter, and humanitarian assistance, the report stated.


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


🚩🚩 8. Junta Reinforcing Troops in Gangaw and Kalay; Civilians Urged to Remain Alert

October 16, Radio NUG

According to Gangaw Media, junta forces have reinforced Light Infantry Battalion 50 and military units stationed in Pyu Saw Htee militia areas in northern Gangaw Township, deploying additional troops and weapons via air transport.

It is reported that this troop reinforcement throughout October increases the risk of sudden airstrikes and ground assaults in the region.

Similarly, in Kalay Town, a junta aircraft landed on October 16, marking at least the fifth landing within recent days to deliver reinforcements, according to Yaw Alin Tan news outlet.

On the morning of October 16, 11 military trucks transported troops to northern Kalay, where the junta aims to strengthen control over Tamu Town, Kan Par Ni, Kyun Thar Village, and to secure the Kalay–Gangaw highway, the report added.

Locals were also warned that military operations may intensify south of Kalay, urging civilians to prepare in advance for possible attacks.

πŸ“ŒπŸ“Œ 2. “Only by seeing and accepting reality as it is can we truly contemplate how best to overcome it,” says the Union Prime Minister

October 16 — Radio NUG

The 37th Meeting (37/2025) of the Central Committee for Interim Local Public Administration Implementation under the National Unity Government was held on the morning of October 16, 2025.

During the meeting, Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khaing Thann, who serves as the Chairman of the Central Committee, delivered the opening remarks.

He stated:

“In terms of governance, everyone is aware that we are currently managing two key areas.

The first concerns administrative operations in areas under the full control of the NUG, while ensuring that in areas not yet fully under our control, no administrative vacuum exists.

Secondly, we are also doing our utmost to provide services to the people who are suffering from various hardships inflicted by the military council’s brutal tactics.

Nowadays, ministers, deputy ministers, and local administrative officials are personally traveling to the townships to conduct on-site inspections and meet with people.

Therefore, the first step is to be able to see and accept the realities as they are, and only then can we proceed to the second step — to reflect on how best to overcome those realities.”

During the meeting, members of the Central Committee discussed updates on the progress of decisions made during the previous 36th meeting (36/2025), reviewed implementation outcomes, and addressed remaining issues requiring follow-up actions.

The meeting was led by Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khaing Thann, and attended by Union Ministers, Deputy Ministers, Permanent Secretaries, Associate Secretaries, and departmental officials. It concluded at 12:30 PM.
