๐ฉ๐ฉ 1. Six Junta Soldiers Killed in Clash with Troops Advancing from Sin Swel Village, Yebyu Township
June 5
Six junta soldiers were killed during a clash with a column advancing from Sin Swel Village in Yebyu Township, Tanintharyi Region, according to the Launglone Peninsula Force (LPF).
The battle occurred on June 2 around 8:00 a.m., when resistance forces launched an attack against junta troops stationed in Sin Swel Village, part of the Min Thar village tract. The resistance fighters intercepted a junta column of approximately 30 soldiers emerging from the village, resulting in a direct confrontation.
The LPF reported that the resistance fighters initiated the attack and were able to gain the upper hand, killing at least six junta soldiers and injuring around 13 others. The junta troops reportedly could not return effective fire and ultimately fled in disarray.
Additionally, the resistance forces launched a subsequent attack on the junta’s base within Sin Swel Village using five 60mm mortars. While casualties on the junta side are believed to have occurred, detailed information is still under investigation.
This operation was a coordinated effort involving:
Launglone Peninsula Force (LPF) – Column 3, Battalion 7
Kawthaung Border Defense Force (KBDF) – Battalion 4
Ye Guerrilla Force (YGF) – Column 2
Myeik Southern Revolutionary Force (MSRF)
New Mon State Party – Anti-Dictatorship (NMSP-AD)
Nonentity Coach Training Unit
Due to the ongoing intense military situation in Tanintharyi Region, the resistance groups have appealed to civilians—particularly internally displaced villagers—not to re-enter their villages frequently, as battles could erupt at any time.

๐ฉ๐ฉ 3. Efforts Underway to Construct Bomb Shelters for Schools
June 5
Efforts are currently being made to dig and construct urgently needed bomb shelters for schools, according to the Dagon University Students’ Union.
With airstrikes by the military junta escalating in Sagaing Region, civilian casualties—particularly among schoolchildren and students—have sharply increased. Schools, monastic institutions, and internally displaced persons (IDP) camps have become primary targets of junta airstrikes, the Students’ Union stated.
Members of the Dagon University Students’ Union recently engaged with communities in Yinmarbin Township, Sagaing Region, where they conducted awareness campaigns about airstrike dangers and explained preventive measures to mitigate risks. They also held discussions to better understand the difficulties faced by locals on the ground.
As part of their humanitarian outreach, the union is striving to construct essential bomb shelters for schools to provide safer conditions for students in conflict zones.
