m.CDM, October 7
According to local reports, two drone bombs exploded on the afternoon of October 7 at the General Administration Office in Hpakant Township, Kachin State, while township authorities, military council personnel, and businesspeople were holding a meeting.
The first drone bomb landed outside the office hall, killing U Darun Zaw Aung, an official of KNDPC Company and chairman of the Lone Khin Golf Course.
The second drone bomb reportedly landed beneath a structure near the office, killing a vendor who was selling goods there.
Meanwhile, residents of Mathone, Kyar Chay Yar, and Kyauk Za Kwe villages near Defense Industry No. 16 in Pandaung Township, western Bago Region, said they have been prohibited from leaving their villages and that routes in and out have been tightly blocked.
Day laborers can no longer travel to work, while obtaining food and basic commodities has also become increasingly difficult.
In addition, on September 20, forests and hills surrounding Mathone Village near the factory were reportedly burned and cleared using drones to drop bottles filled with fuel and explosives.
The reported purpose was to create open visibility so that approaching armed groups could be seen from a distance.

In Rakhine State, the Arakan Army, or AA, has reportedly shifted from counteroffensive operations in Sittwe and Kyaukphyu to more direct offensive operations.
On October 4, the AA launched an offensive toward the Taung Maw Oo naval base in Kyaukphyu Township and reportedly seized several security outposts along the access route to the naval base, including the Awa Taung security post.
Fighting has continued between AA forces and military reinforcements sent toward Taung Maw Oo.
In Sittwe Township, fighting has reportedly continued for around two days in areas including Yay Chan Pyin, Gwi Htae, Pa Da Leik, Nari Kan, Taw Kan, War Bo Island, Kwan Taung, and around the Shwe Min Gan naval base.
The military council has also reportedly been sending reinforcements into the area.

The two men, Min Thiha and Aung Min Htwe, both in their twenties, were reportedly shot on the evening of October 4 between Taik Village and Oak Shit Gyi Village in Depayin Township.
They died from gunshot wounds to the head.
They had reportedly traveled to Pauk Chaing Village in Shwebo Township to collect approximately 22 million kyats owed to them and were attacked while returning.

The three suspects were two men and one woman.
Three mobile phones, twelve 7.62-mm cartridge cases, two 5.56-mm cartridge cases, and one MA-1 rifle bearing the number 41007 were also reportedly transferred with them.
Local sources identified the detainees as U Kyaw, Ko Paing, and Ko Paing’s wife, Ma Sandi.

The Karen National Union, or KNU, announced on October 6 that over more than five years since the military coup, 59 schools in KNU-administered areas have been damaged by military attacks and more than 40 students have been killed.
In a video report covering the period from 2021 to 2026, the KNU said 41 students were killed and 90 were injured by artillery fire and airstrikes.
The KNU said:
“The terrorist military council led by Min Aung Hlaing is not only violating the Geneva Conventions but is also deliberately destroying the education of the Karen people.”
The military also carried out airstrikes against schools in KNU territory during September.
On September 19, the military bombed Kyathaung Seik Village in Bilin Township, KNU Brigade 1 territory.

6. Myanmar Ambassador Warns That a Military Junta Hostile to the People Cannot Be a Partner for Social Development
m.CDM, October 7
Myanmar’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun, warned the international community that a military junta that is hostile toward the people cannot be a partner for social development.
He made the remarks during the general debate on social development at the United Nations General Assembly’s Third Committee, which covers social, humanitarian and cultural issues.
In his statement, Ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun said Myanmar has been facing multiple crises more than five years after the unlawful military coup and that the people have been deprived of basic opportunities for social development because of the military junta.
He said Myanmar’s people are facing systematic human-rights violations, indiscriminate aerial bombardments, and deliberate destruction of civilian infrastructure, including schools and hospitals.
He also said forced recruitment and widespread violence across the country are destroying the futures of young people.
Against this background, he explained that Myanmar’s people are struggling to survive amid severe uncertainty, describing it as a bitter reality.
He said the military junta has completely disregarded international humanitarian law and international human-rights law and has committed serious war crimes and crimes against humanity.
In contrast, he said the National Unity Government, or NUG, is working together with ethnic partners and revolutionary forces to promote social development in Myanmar.
Given this contrast, he urged the international community to recognize that a military junta that attacks and terrorizes its own people cannot be a partner for social development.
He called on the international community to urgently take three actions: reject the military junta, hold accountable those responsible for atrocities, and stand firmly with the people of Myanmar in their effort to build a peaceful federal democratic union based on justice and human dignity.

7. Justice For Myanmar Says Malaysian Companies Attempted to Supply Aviation Equipment to Myanmar Military
m.CDM, October 7
Justice For Myanmar has reported that Malaysian companies either engaged in or attempted business dealings with the Myanmar military involving aviation equipment and maintenance services.
The findings were based on leaked documents and trade data.
According to the investigation, between 2023 and 2026 Malaysian companies FJ Global Aeroparts, Asia AeroTechnic, or AAT, and Skyways Technics Asia had dealings with the Myanmar military or companies acting as intermediaries on its behalf.
Justice For Myanmar said FJ Global attempted to obtain aircraft parts for K-8W combat aircraft, Orlan-10E drones, and Ka-28, Mi-17 and Mi-2 helicopters used by the Myanmar military.
It also stated that FJ Global received financing in February 2026 from the government-backed PUNB.
Myanmar military engineers also reportedly visited AAT regarding maintenance of a military-owned Airbus A319 aircraft.
AAT is wholly owned by MARA Corporation, which is linked to the Malaysian government.
Skyways Technics Asia may also have supplied aircraft parts linked to the Myanmar Air Force through Myanmar companies including Light Head Group of Companies, K L S Aviation and United Five.
Myanmar National Airlines and Mingalar Aviation also reportedly attempted to send aircraft components to Skyways for repair.
Justice For Myanmar further stated that Malaysia invited a Myanmar military delegation led by Police Brigadier General Hlaing Min to the 49th ASEAN Intelligence Community Conference, scheduled to take place in Kuala Lumpur from November 2 to 6, 2026.
Justice For Myanmar called on the Malaysian government to investigate companies accused of providing aviation equipment and maintenance services to the Myanmar military, cut supply chains linked to the military, and stop granting political legitimacy to the junta.

8. Group Formed in Yangon to Cover Medical and Travel Expenses for Victims of Stray-Dog Bites
m.CDM, October 7
Animal lovers in Yangon have formed an organization to provide medical and travel expenses to people bitten by stray dogs.
Members of the group said it was established during the first week of October.
The organization, called the Yangon Stray Management and Public Assistance Association, or YSMPA, was created to help manage stray dogs in Yangon Region and provide assistance to the public.
Its first meeting was held on October 4.
Interim chairperson Daw Wai Wai Moe said YSMPA was established to prevent stray dogs from being killed by poisoning.
She wrote on social media:
“If you want fewer stray animals, support this organization. If you oppose poisoning and killing them, support and cooperate with this organization.”
YSMPA says it aims to control stray-dog reproduction through humane methods, help cover treatment and transportation expenses for people bitten by stray dogs, relocate dangerous dogs to shelters, prevent poisoning, and work toward creating a rabies-free community.
The organization has not yet released details on exactly how support will be provided to dog-bite victims.
It is expected to establish a core fund and open a bank account before putting the assistance program into operation.
Stray dogs remain a major public-safety challenge in Yangon.
Some members of the public have welcomed the creation of an organization that seeks to help address the problem in a structured way rather than focusing solely on protecting animals.
