1. NUG Union Minister Dr. Zaw Wai Soe urges public participation in People’s Radar Project
m.CDM, October 3
Union Minister Dr. Zaw Wai Soe of the National Unity Government’s Office of the Union Prime Minister has appealed to the public to participate in the People’s Radar Project, which is intended to help protect civilians from what the NUG describes as the military’s inhumane and brutal attacks.
Dr. Zaw Wai Soe wrote on social media:
“Let us build the People’s Radar system with the strength of the people. Let us protect people from inhumane and brutal killings. I respectfully urge everyone to contribute through the QR code provided.”
The People’s Radar Project is being developed to provide early warnings of military airstrikes.
The project is primarily led by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Labour and Humanitarian Affairs, or MOSLHA, while the Communications, Information and Technology Department under the Office of the Union Prime Minister will provide the necessary technical support.
Organizers said that, in order to make ground operations more effective, the project will also be directly implemented through Ministry of Defence networks in Sagaing, Mandalay, Magway, Bago, Ayeyarwady and Tanintharyi regions.
Organizers describe the project as an important source of hope for civilians who face daily casualties from military airstrikes.
The fundraising target for the People’s Radar Project is 500 million kyats, and the campaign is scheduled to run from September 3 through November 10.
According to project information, the estimated cost is 2 million kyats for each fixed station, 300,000 kyats for each handheld device, and 100,000 kyats per month for each operator. The plan includes four operators, five communications stations in each township, and coverage across 50 townships.
The project aims to strengthen and speed up early-warning systems so that, as soon as military aircraft take off, information can be relayed quickly to civilians in affected areas. It also aims to support ground-based lookout teams who risk their lives to provide information.

m.CDM, October 3
Two displaced civilians were killed in an airstrike by the military in Chaung-U Township, Sagaing Region, according to local sources.
The airstrikes reportedly began in parts of Monywa District on the evening of October 2, following the surrender to the military of Pyan Hlwar, also known as Wai Zin Aung, a former commander of Monywa District Battalion 15 and the current military affairs officer of the Chaung-U Township “6+1” joint forces.
Local resistance groups said displacement camps were damaged in the airstrikes. Two men were reportedly killed at the scene and another person was wounded.
Local sources also said that beginning on the morning of October 3, the military continued aerial activity involving fighter jets and helicopters.
Reports have circulated that Pyan Hlwar, or Wai Zin Aung, surrendered to the military on September 30 following financial disputes, allegedly taking one firearm and around 15 million kyats in resistance funds with him.
After reports of his surrender emerged, the military reportedly carried out repeated airstrikes on areas of Monywa District where resistance forces are active.
Resistance groups have urged residents to pay close attention to air-raid warnings and immediately take shelter in safe locations because of continued military aerial bombing in Monywa District.

m.CDM, October 3
Thai and Japanese authorities have jointly rescued two young Japanese men who had been trafficked and forced to work at an online scam operation in Three Pagodas Pass on the Thai-Myanmar border.
The two men, aged 20 and 21, reportedly applied for highly paid jobs advertised on social media before being deceived and trafficked.
Although the alleged employer initially paid all of their travel expenses, they were reportedly threatened with death when they later attempted to cancel the trip. They subsequently traveled to Thailand and were then illegally transported across the border into Myanmar.
After reaching the scam compound, they were allegedly forced to make hundreds of telephone calls each day to elderly people in Japan while impersonating government officials and police officers in an effort to defraud them.
They reportedly worked for around 20 days without receiving any salary. Their phones were confiscated and they were threatened with torture.
During a period when they were allowed to use a phone, however, they managed to contact their families and ask for help, eventually leading to their rescue.
The scam compound may contain between 2,000 and 3,000 workers, including a large number of Chinese nationals.
Thai police have warned the public to be especially cautious about job advertisements offering unusually high salaries.
