Sources said a fighter jet dropped at least six bombs at around 11 a.m. on September 24 and returned for another bombing run later in the day.
CDM Sergeant Nay Win Aung and five PDF members were reportedly killed. Special Military Region commander Aung San Shar was also injured.
Military-linked channels claimed that CDM Major Tin Lin Aung had also been killed, but a source on the ground said he was unharmed.
The area had reportedly been subjected to frequent howitzer fire from a military artillery unit based in Theinzayat, as well as aerial reconnaissance.
Sources said military forces may also be preparing a ground offensive and attempting to establish positions in the area.
The NUG Defense Ministry and the Special Military Region had not yet issued an official confirmation of the incident at the time of the report.
2. Resistance Forces Raid Pyu Saw Htee Outpost in Kantbalu
Resistance forces reportedly raided a Pyu Saw Htee security outpost in Pyin Taw village, Kantbalu Township, Sagaing Region, early on September 24.
The outpost reportedly provided security for a military-controlled sugarcane agricultural unit near Zee Kone Sugar Mill.
According to resistance sources, the fighting lasted approximately 15 minutes.
Around seven Pyu Saw Htee members were reportedly killed.
Resistance forces said they seized five carbines, 60 rounds of ammunition, three sets of equipment, two helmets, four magazines and five motorcycles.
The outpost reportedly housed around 30 militia members and was accused of extorting money from travelers.
Several local defense organizations jointly participated in the operation and said their forces withdrew without casualties.
3. Captured Police Officer Describes Village Burnings; Three Conscripts Defect
A captured police officer has said military forces burned villages during operations in Pakokku Township.
Police Captain Thant Zin, former head of the Myit Chay police station, said he personally witnessed villages being burned under the description of “area-clearance operations” while accompanying a military column.
According to the PDF military headquarters, the column advanced from Pakokku toward Myit Chay on May 10 and was accused of killing at least 24 civilians and burning more than 1,000 homes.
Thant Zin also said police officers were being deployed to front-line combat alongside military forces, resulting in significant casualties among police personnel.
He said he had served in the police force for 24 years and had continued working because of difficulties supporting his family despite disagreeing with the military takeover.
He was captured along with 13 other police officers when resistance forces attacked Myit Chay police station on June 10.
Separately, three forcibly recruited conscripts reportedly defected to Minbu District Battalion 1.
The group said one was from conscription intake 14 and two from intake 26. They and their families have reportedly been relocated to a safe area.
4. Thirty-Eight Members of Local Resistance Groups Reportedly Surrender
Thirty-eight people associated with two local defense groups operating near Sar Taung in Sagaing Township and the Wetlet People’s Defense Organization reportedly surrendered to military authorities.
The group reportedly included 29 male members, three female members and six family members.
They entered Sar Taung police station on September 22 with 13 weapons.
A resistance commander identified as Bo Yakkha claimed the groups had fled because they feared action by resistance authorities over alleged violations committed in resistance-controlled territory.
The allegations included operating unauthorized checkpoints, demanding money from civilians and allegedly demanding one million kyat for the release of a captured police officer.
The statement also alleged suspicious prior contacts with military authorities.
The claims concerning their reasons for surrendering were made by resistance sources and were not independently established in the report.
5. Seven-Year-Old Student Killed by Artillery Fire in Myingyan
A seven-year-old primary school student was killed by artillery fire in Myingyan Township, Mandalay Region, according to local sources.
The Myingyan People’s Movement Committee said Light Infantry Battalion 15 fired artillery toward a monastic education school in Da Kyun village shortly after 3 p.m. on September 23.
No fighting was reported in the area at the time.
The shelling reportedly killed a seven-year-old kindergarten student.
A Grade 7 student and a Grade 2 student were also injured.
Military records cited in the report say villages in Myingyan and surrounding townships have repeatedly been subjected to artillery and drone attacks during September, causing civilian casualties and property damage.
6. Fighting Intensifies as Military Attempts to Retake Khaunglanhpu Position
Heavy fighting is reportedly underway in Khaunglanhpu Township, Kachin State, as military and militia forces attempt to recapture a strategic position containing a helicopter landing site.
The position is located near Border Marker 30 on the Myanmar-China frontier.
According to KIA information sources, KIA forces captured the military and militia position, including the strategically important helicopter landing site, on September 18.
Military forces subsequently launched a counteroffensive in an effort to retake it.
The KIA also alleged that more than 190 young people from villages around Putao, Machanbaw and Nawngmun had been recruited as the military sought reinforcements, while local residents were also being used to transport supplies.
KIA-led forces had previously captured several military positions around Border Marker 30 in July before seizing the area’s only major helicopter landing site in September.
7. PDF Zoland Calls for New Recruits
Chin resistance group PDF Zoland has invited people interested in joining the armed resistance to enroll in its basic military training program.
The organization said that after five years of the Spring Revolution, ending dictatorship and confronting injustice remain responsibilities of the current generation.
PDF Zoland called on those who value freedom and justice and wish to participate actively in the revolution to join its training.
The group said the revolution needs active participants rather than spectators and encouraged new recruits to take part.
PDF Zoland is a Chin resistance organization that has fought alongside allied resistance forces against the military.
8. Around 80 Kalay Prison Inmates Reportedly Need Urgent Hospital Treatment
Around 80 inmates at Kalay Prison in Sagaing Region, including 50 political prisoners, urgently require treatment at an outside hospital, according to the Political Prisoners Network-Myanmar (PPNM).
Specialists from Kalay General Hospital reportedly examined prisoners inside the facility on July 22 and determined that around 80 required urgent hospitalization.
However, only nine have so far been allowed to receive treatment outside the prison, and only four of those are political prisoners.
PPNM said medical funding for approximately 1,000 inmates amounts to only around one million kyat per month, or roughly 1,000 kyat per prisoner.
As a result, the prison reportedly lacks medicines beyond basic drugs such as paracetamol and vitamin supplements and does not have adequate emergency oxygen or other essential medical equipment.
Prisoners reportedly suffer from conditions including heart disease, gastrointestinal bleeding, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Families often have to pay for medication and medical treatment themselves.
Some political prisoners transferred from distant areas have lost contact with their families, leaving them unable to cover food and medical expenses when hospitalized.
PPNM also reported cases in which prisoners suffering cardiac emergencies died while being transported approximately 12 to 13 miles to Kalay General Hospital with only an oxygen cylinder and tube and without adequate emergency medical equipment.
9. Mon, Karen and Pa-O Youth Hold First Political Dialogue
Youth representatives from Mon, Karen and Pa-O communities have held their first joint political dialogue, organized with support from the New Ramanya Federal Force (NRFF).
The two-day meeting brought together representatives from nine Mon, Karen and Pa-O organizations.
Leaders from the Mon State Federal Council, Pa-O National Federal Council and Karen Youth Organization-Central delivered supporting remarks.
Participants focused on building mutual understanding and trust among the different groups and exchanged views on current political developments, including resistance efforts in Mon State.
They also discussed the role of young people in the current revolution and in political leadership.
Participants agreed to develop practical plans to strengthen future cooperation.
The NRFF has organized a series of youth political dialogues and meetings among regional organizations since 2023.
10. Chinese Livestreamer Wang Ran Reportedly Kidnapped in Myanmar
Chinese livestreamer Wang Ran, 24, has reportedly been kidnapped in Myanmar, with her captors demanding 600,000 yuan in ransom, according to Chinese media reports.
Wang reportedly flew to Bangkok on September 12 for a job arranged by someone she had met online.
The following day, she was allegedly deceived into traveling into Myanmar and lost contact with her family.
On September 13, she was reportedly allowed to make a video call to her family from a room and asked them to send 600,000 yuan.
Her captors allegedly threatened to sell her to another scam operation or an entertainment establishment if the ransom was not paid by September 20.
Her family has reported the case to police in Nanjing, China, and authorities involved in combating scam operations have reportedly begun investigating.
11. Data for Myanmar Says 2,029 Arrested Over Social-Media Activity
At least 2,029 people have been arrested over social-media activity critical of the military takeover or supportive of anti-coup movements, according to Data for Myanmar.
The organization said arrests had been recorded in 227 townships, with the largest numbers in Yangon, Mandalay and Bago regions.
Of the 2,029 people arrested, 1,315 were men and 714 were women.
The cases involved activity on platforms including Facebook, TikTok, Telegram, Viber and YouTube.
Data for Myanmar said the arrests began in February 2022.
It recorded:
874 arrests in 2022
614 in 2023
375 in 2024
140 in 2025
26 through the end of August 2026
The organization said that in 2026, arrests have occurred not only over content regarded as security-related but also over comments and posts expressing differing political opinions.
It also noted that authorities inspect mobile phones at checkpoints in addition to monitoring social-media activity.
Data for Myanmar therefore advised users to take precautions to protect personal information and digital security, particularly when traveling.
