๐ฉ๐ฉ 1. 61st Karenni National Armed Resistance Day Ceremony Held in Demoso Township, Karenni Region No. 3
June 4
The 61st Karenni National Armed Resistance Day was commemorated in a village located within Demoso Township, which is part of the northern section of Kayah (Karenni) State designated as Region No. 3, according to local sources.
The Karenni Nationalities Army (KNA) issued a statement marking the occasion of the 61st anniversary of the Karenni National Armed Resistance Day, which falls on June 4.
The statement emphasized that since 1964, the legacy of armed resistance passed down by Karenni revolutionary martyrs has been inherited by the younger generation of Karenni youth, who continue to fight to this day—sacrificing their lives for the complete eradication of military dictatorship and the emergence of a federal democracy.
The KNA also paid tribute with deep reverence to all revolutionary martyrs who have made the ultimate sacrifice across generations—not only for the Karenni people but also for all oppressed ethnic nationalities.
The KNA reaffirmed its commitment to continue the armed resistance with the dual goals of attaining the Karenni people's right to self-determination and bringing down the military dictatorship.
It is noted that Karenni revolutionaries designated June 4, 1964, as the official Karenni National Armed Resistance Day, commemorating the day when the Karenni people joined forces with the people of Myanmar to rise against the military dictatorship, following the military coup of 1962.

๐ฉ๐ฉ 6. Nearly 10,000 WY Methamphetamine Pills Incinerated by Resistance Forces in Demawso
June 4
The Demawso Local People’s Defense Force (DMO PDF) and the KNPLF Kalalata Force, together with local residents, incinerated approximately 10,000 seized WY methamphetamine pills, according to an announcement released today, June 4.
The statement noted that since the military coup, drug traffickers have colluded with certain unscrupulous locals to distribute meth pills within the area.
The widespread use of these narcotics by young people has led to a spike in crimes such as theft, robbery, and break-ins, the statement added.
Individuals arrested in possession of the seized drugs are currently under legal proceedings. Authorities also announced that they will continue to arrest and prosecute anyone involved in the sale or use of narcotics. The public is encouraged to report drug-related activities to the local resistance authorities.
The drug incineration ceremony was attended by approximately 42 local residents and youth members, it was reported.
In recent days, resistance forces under the Mandalay People’s Defense Force had also led drug incineration operations in Zin Kuu and Mataya Townships, where narcotics were previously seized.
The above news was reported by Ko Khant, a field correspondent for Radio NUG.
