According to Shwe Pyi Thar Information, on July 9 at around 3:00 PM, a mentally distressed man who had been summoned for military conscription jumped off the roof of a two-storey building used by the military at Oakkyin Detention Facility in Yangon. He later died that night at 10 PM at Hospital 1000.

“He hit the concrete below. He was just a frail young man, frequently in and out of the hospital. He seemed to be between 20 and 25 years old, fair-skinned, clean-cut, tall. I heard he was taken from Shwe Pyi Thar Township. He had been held there for about 10 days. They said he passed away at the hospital around 10 PM last night. These are lives that should not have ended.”

On July 8, 2025, members of the Chinland Defense Force–Hakha (CDF-Hakha) intercepted a narcotics shipment near the Va Bridge in Falam Township, which was being transported under the authorization of a letter signed by the Commander of Infantry Battalion 15, based in Yinmarbin District, according to a public statement.
The seized items included:
- Approximately 3 million stimulant tablets
- About 110 kilograms of heroin (No. 4)
- Two MA-series rifles
- Two mini Starlink devices
CDF-Hakha also arrested:
- Three resistance fighters
- One driver
- One escort personnel
The arrest took place within the Hakha Township area, and the suspects were traveling in a Hilux (9K-1693) and a Forland truck (1J-6011).
According to reports, Maung Zaw Lat (real name U Win Maw) and Ko Putee (real name U Kyaw Min Zaw), who were allegedly responsible for overseeing the transport, fled and escaped arrest.
The confiscated narcotics were incinerated on July 9, and CDF-Hakha announced that legal action would be taken against those apprehended in accordance with the law.
In response, Infantry Battalions 14 and 15 of the Salingyi Special Task Force (SSTF) stated that they, as the parent units of the detained personnel, would take responsibility for resolving the matter.
While confirming that they had issued a recommendation letter signed by Battalion Commander Ko Pho Thaung to transport explosives, SSTF denied any involvement in the narcotics smuggling operation. They claimed that the offense was a personal act by the individuals and not affiliated with the organization.
SSTF further stated that an internal investigation is underway and committed to apprehending fugitives Maung Zaw Lat and Ko Putee to ensure effective punishment.
They also expressed willingness to cooperate with the Ministry of Defense (MOD) of the National Unity Government (NUG) in its investigation and said the two fugitives would be handed over to MOD once captured.
SSTF publicly condemned the misuse of their organization’s name for criminal activity and vowed to implement strict preventive measures to ensure that similar incidents do not recur.

Shwe Nya War Sayadaw was arrested following the military coup on February 1, 2021, and was released from prison on November 17, 2022. After his release, he had been undergoing treatment for liver disease at the Asia Royal Hospital, where he passed away at 2:45 AM on July 10.
His body is currently being venerated at Shwe Nya War Monastery in Hmawbi Township, Yangon. At the time of his passing, the Sayadaw was 61 years old and had been ordained for 40 years.
Prominent monks from the Shwe War-colored monastic community have alleged that his death was a deliberate killing by the military junta, claiming that the Sayadaw was unjustly imprisoned and that the regime denied him access to proper medical care for illnesses developed during his incarceration.
