The Ta’ang Liberation Council (TLC) issued a statement on August 22, 2025, strongly condemning the military junta’s ongoing airstrikes targeting civilian areas and its preparations to conduct an illegal sham election.
According to TLC, between July 21 and August 21, 2025, the junta carried out over 25 aerial bombing attacks across Kyaukme, Mogok, Hsipaw, Kutkai, and Mainngaw townships in Ta’ang areas. These assaults killed 59 civilians and injured more than 100 others.
In particular, on August 22, in Naungpain Village, Kyaukme Township, the junta dropped 39 bombs, according to the statement.
The TLC expressed deep condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in these attacks.
Furthermore, the TLC declared its outright rejection of the junta’s attempt to hold a sham election—an effort to maintain its dictatorship and seize unlawful power without the people’s mandate. The TLC urged the public not to participate in the junta’s election and called on the international community and governments not to recognize it.
The TLC also appealed to the United Nations and international organizations to take effective action against the junta’s crimes against humanity and mass killings.
