๐ฉ๐ฉ 4. Military vessels departing Bhamo via Ayeyarwady River — residents along riverbanks urged to stay alert
September 5
Military vessels that had been stationed in Bhamo, Kachin State, departed southward along the Ayeyarwady River this morning, September 5, prompting defense groups to urge riverside residents to stay on high alert.
According to a local military source, the junta’s naval vessels looted property from Bhamo civilians, loaded it aboard, and departed around 7:00 am today, escorted from above by a Y-12 aircraft for security.
It is reported that six military vessels left Bhamo. These were the same vessels that had transported reinforcements, arms, and ammunition into Bhamo on August 1. The information was confirmed by Kachin News Group, citing local sources.
Resistance groups warned that whenever these military vessels travel upstream or downstream, the junta habitually bombs and shells villages along the riverbanks to clear the route. Therefore, residents living near the river are being urged to exercise extreme caution, according to frontline KIA sources.
At the same time the vessels left Bhamo, another five military vessels carrying troops departed from Katha, Sagaing Region, at 7:30 am today, heading toward Bhamo, according to local sources.
Records show that when military vessels last sailed upriver from Mandalay’s Gawein Port to Bhamo, junta shelling and airstrikes killed at least 30 civilians living in villages along the riverbanks.
Resistance forces therefore warned that the junta could once again carry out indiscriminate attacks during this latest deployment, urging all residents along the Ayeyarwady River to stay vigilant.

The Kyaukhto Revolutionary Force (KRF) has issued a warning that in villages across Kyaukhto, Bilin, and Thaton Townships of Mon State, there have been cases of fraudsters extorting money using the names of resistance forces.

KRF urges the public that if they encounter such threats and extortion attempts, they should immediately contact nearby resistance groups to report the matter.
KRF clarified that it has never demanded money, extorted funds, or issued threats to civilians in the past, and pledged that it will never do so in the future.
Therefore, if anyone receives threats or extortion under the false use of KRF members’ names, the public is encouraged to file a report through KRF’s official social media channels.
KRF reaffirmed its commitment to continue fighting until the fall of the military dictatorship, protecting the lives, homes, and livelihoods of the people. It also pledged that it will not carry out any explosions or attacks that would harm civilians or cause damage and losses to the public.
