The unit, operating under the Ministry of Defense of the National Unity Government, also urged local resistance forces to cooperate with emergency-relief operations.

The TNF said it is carrying out emergency-relief work as far as possible and is ready to cooperate fully with independent organizations, local groups and humanitarian-rescue organizations not affiliated with the military authorities.
Local relief organizations have advised donors traveling into the affected areas to use large trucks or four-wheel-drive vehicles such as Vigo pickups because of difficult road conditions.

5. Regional CDM Civil Servants Network Announces Principles and Programs
The Myanmar Regional CDM Civil Servants Network (MRCN) has announced its basic principles and planned activities.
The network says it aims to strengthen the federal-democratic character of the Spring Revolution and support efforts to establish a Federal Democratic Union.
Regional and state-based CDM civil-servant organizations have been formed as revolutionary bodies representing their respective areas.
As coordination among these organizations has strengthened, MRCN said the new principles and programs are intended to more effectively serve both CDM civil servants and the broader revolutionary movement.
The network said its policies will be reviewed and amended as conditions change.
Its five basic principles include prioritizing the security of MRCN and member organizations, protecting sensitive revolutionary information and supporting the success of the revolution.
Its seven planned areas of work include cooperation toward ending all forms of dictatorship, strengthening the role of CDM civil servants in political affairs, and coordinating on matters related to a future federal union.
MRCN also plans to organize capacity-building training, knowledge-sharing and discussions for CDM civil servants, as well as coordinate with allied revolutionary organizations and experts.
The network currently includes the Kachin State CDM Civil Servants Council, Karenni State Civil Servants CDM Council, Sagaing Federal Unit CDM Civil Servants Council, Mandalay CDM Organization, Mon State CDM Civil Servants Council, Yangon Federal Unit CDM Civil Servants Organization, and Shan State CDM Council.
6. KIA Condemns SNA Military Graduation Ceremony at Christian Church
The Kachin Independence Army has strongly condemned a military graduation ceremony reportedly held by the junta-aligned Shanni Nationalities Army (SNA) inside a Kachin Baptist church compound in Nant Mon village, Mohnyin Township, Kachin State.
Videos circulating on social media reportedly show a large number of SNA members conducting a graduation ceremony and dancing inside the church compound.
KIA spokesperson Colonel Naw Bu said the action was inappropriate and disrespectful to Christian religious beliefs.
He argued that there were many open areas in the village that could have been used instead and warned that using a church compound in this way could inflame religious tensions.
The report says the SNA militia has used the Nant Mon church compound as a training site for around five years, while many local Kachin residents have been displaced by fighting.
On the morning of September 28, KIA forces reportedly attacked and captured a joint junta-SNA position near Nant Mon village.
Military sources said some of the newly trained personnel who had participated in the church ceremony were involved in the fighting.
After losing the position, junta forces reportedly carried out heavy airstrikes in the area.
7. Police Arrest Pyu Saw Htee Members Accused of Abducting Underage Youths
Police in Chanayethazan Township, Mandalay Region, reportedly arrested two Pyu Saw Htee members accused of abducting three youths under the age of 18 with the intention of trafficking them into forced military recruitment.
The two suspects, identified as Han Thu Tun and Aung Pyae Sone, were arrested on September 20 by No. 6 Area Police Station and charged under Sections 365 and 114.
Military authorities reportedly claimed the youths had voluntarily registered for military service, but the three youths said they had been forcibly abducted.
Pyu Saw Htee leader Kyaw Win Maung later threatened retaliation against police, including officers from No. 6 Area Police Station, in a TikTok video.
Local residents alleged that Pyu Saw Htee groups, operating with military protection, have been involved in forced recruitment, human trafficking, extortion and land seizures.
Separately, in Leshi Township in the Naga Self-Administered Zone, military authorities reportedly detained and extorted money from 11 travelers.
Local residents said that around 35 million kyat collected from them was then used to obtain a young man as a replacement conscript for military service.
8. Tropical Depression Crosses Near Sittaung River Estuary
A strong tropical depression over the Mon-Tanintharyi coast began crossing near the Sittaung River estuary, south of Kyaikto in Mon State, on the evening of September 28, according to an emergency warning from Myanmar’s Department of Meteorology and Hydrology.
The system was forecast to produce winds of around 35 to 40 miles per hour.
Over the following 48 hours, it was expected to move northwest across Yangon, Bago, Naypyidaw, Magway and Mandalay regions.
From the night of September 28 through September 30, thunderstorms and locally heavy rain were forecast for Naypyidaw, Yangon, Mandalay, Bago, Magway, Ayeyarwady and Tanintharyi regions, as well as Karenni, Karen, Mon, Rakhine and southern Shan states.
The system has been designated INVEST-92W.
Meteorologist U Win Naing warned residents to remain especially cautious because flooding and landslides had already occurred in Thailand and Tanintharyi Region.
Wave heights of around 9 to 12 feet were also forecast along the Ayeyarwady Delta, Gulf of Mottama, Mon-Tanintharyi coast and Rakhine coast.
Authorities urged residents to prepare for flash floods and landslides, while coastal and offshore fishing operations and aviation services were advised to exercise heightened caution.
