The Arakan Army (AA) has officially reported that five civilians, including a newborn baby, were killed and nine others injured when Myanmar’s military bombed a temporary maternity hospital in Mrauk-U, Rakhine State, on the evening of November 1.
According to the AA, two military fighter jets dropped four cluster bombs directly onto the maternity hospital at approximately 5:30 p.m. The facility was caring for pregnant women, infants and other patients, with family caregivers also present.
The AA statement said the attack killed five civilians and injured nine others, including some medical personnel. Several hospital buildings and nearby residential homes were also damaged.
On December 10, 2025, International Human Rights Day, the military reportedly bombed Mrauk-U General Hospital, killing at least 30 civilians, including patients, caregivers and hospital staff, and injuring 76 others.
Following the destruction of that hospital, temporary medical facilities and maternity wards had been established to provide healthcare for pregnant women and local residents. These replacement facilities have now also come under attack.
Residents of Mrauk-U have criticized the latest bombing as a deliberate attack.
The AA further reported that the military conducted additional airstrikes on November 1 in Kyauktaw, Kyaukphyu and the Wira Htana area, as well as Mrauk-U.

Meanwhile, in Indaw Township, Sagaing Region, military troops reportedly entered Kyောင်းကုန်း Village near the Htigyaing junction at approximately 11 a.m. on November 2 and began setting homes on fire.

The woman’s husband subsequently began searching for them.
According to reports, he discovered the bodies of his wife, their two daughters and the three-wheeler driver near Rialti Village, approximately eight miles from Falam.
A military checkpoint and troop position were reportedly located near the site where the bodies were found.
The four bodies have since been transported to a temporary hospital in Falam for examination.

According to the RMA, the attack took place at approximately 9 a.m. on October 31.
The targeted column reportedly consisted of around 50 troops from Light Infantry Battalions 586 and 299. RMA fighters detonated mines as the troops entered and took positions inside Duya Village.
The RMA said three soldiers, including a senior sergeant, were injured, while its own fighters withdrew without casualties.
Later that afternoon, RMA forces reportedly attacked another military position occupied by approximately 40 troops in Kyun Village.
The RMA reported casualties among military personnel, while acknowledging that one of its own fighters was killed.

5. Kim Aris Calls for Continued Free Her Campaign; Yangon Youth Activists Demand Release of All Political Prisoners
m.CDM | November 2, 2026
Ko Htein Lin, also known as Kim Aris, the son of Myanmar’s detained State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, has urged the public to continue participating in the Free Her campaign to secure the release of his mother and all political prisoners.
Although he was recently permitted to speak with his mother by telephone on one occasion, he emphasized that regular communication remains unavailable.
“Just because I heard my mother’s voice does not mean she is safe, free, or no longer needs medical treatment,” Kim Aris said.
He explained that he had received no further information about his mother since their telephone conversation and had not been guaranteed regular family contact.
Kim Aris also accused military leader Min Aung Hlaing of using his mother to ease international pressure on the military authorities.
He questioned world leaders who have welcomed Min Aung Hlaing, asking what concrete actions the military leader has taken to justify such recognition.
Kim emphasized that a single telephone conversation should not be regarded as meaningful progress.
“Accountability must come before recognition,” he said.
He encouraged supporters to download campaign postcards from the Free Her website and share them with relevant embassies and across social media platforms to demand the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and all political prisoners.
Meanwhile, in Yangon, the Octopus Youth Organization, a youth-led civic group, conducted a public campaign at Bogyoke Aung San Market.
Activists displayed a banner reading “FREE HER, FREE THEM ALL”, calling for the unconditional release of Aung San Suu Kyi and all political prisoners.
The Yangon-based organization announced that it stands in solidarity with Kim Aris and will continue its anti-military-dictatorship activities through nonviolent political action in Yangon.
6. Thai Prime Minister Says Myanmar Military Authorities Warned Through Military and Diplomatic Channels Over Border Fighting
m.CDM | November 2, 2026
Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has stated that Thailand has issued warnings to Myanmar’s military authorities through both military and diplomatic channels following incidents in which bombs and artillery shells from fighting along the border landed inside Thai territory, causing injuries and property damage.
Speaking to Thai media on November 2, the prime minister was responding to opposition parties’ demands for a formal statement directed at Myanmar’s military authorities.
Anutin said Thailand’s military leadership, along with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow, had already communicated Thailand’s concerns to Myanmar’s military authorities on October 31.
He added that Myanmar embassy officials would also be summoned to receive a formal warning.
The prime minister stressed that explosions were occurring almost daily along the border and called for greater caution during military operations to prevent harm to civilians, homes and properties unrelated to the conflict.
Thailand has increased border patrol personnel and raised military readiness levels, he said.
However, Thai forces have been instructed to avoid direct confrontations that could escalate the conflict.
“These battles have nothing to do with Thailand or the Thai people,” Anutin said.
He emphasized that the Thai military would fully protect the country’s territorial sovereignty and the safety of its citizens.
Regarding Myanmar civilians fleeing into Thailand, Anutin said they would receive assistance in accordance with humanitarian principles and would not be forcibly returned while fighting continued.
Once conditions stabilized, Thai authorities would assist displaced people in returning home.
However, those attempting to remain in Thailand without legal authorization would be subject to immigration laws.
Asked about reports that Myanmar military forces had threatened to destroy warehouses on the Thai side of the border if they engaged in trade with the Karen National Union (KNU), Anutin said he had not heard of the alleged threat and had received no verified information confirming it.
