🟥The military junta column from Mahlaing also raped (12) women from Yone Si Gyi village, Taungtha

A civilian woman in Taungtha Township, Mandalay Region was allegedly raped by the military junta’s police after they arrested her for questioning.

On the evening of September 7, a 20-year-old villager woman who had come to fetch water from Minkan village was arrested and raped by the police who were guarding the Chinese gas pipeline near the Boebwa Gate in Minkan village.

The woman was arrested on the pretext that she was to be interrogated by the police, and she was raped on the 7th and released on the 8th.

Although local residents filed a complaint with the Taungtha Township Police Station regarding the actions of the military junta police, no action was taken, and the police officers who committed the crime are still serving at the checkpoint, an official from the comrade from Taungtha Township
People’s Defense Force told BBM.

“In the evening, the girl went to fetch water, and when she met the police, they took her to the checkpoint and raped her. We reported the incident to the Taungtha Police Station, but no action has been taken so far. They are like this,”

a comrade form Taungtha Township People’s Defense Force told BBM. In addition, the police officers under the military junta guarding the Chinese pipeline often patrol nearby villages, using security as a pretext, arresting and interrogating local residents.

In addition, on September 10, a military junta column that started from Mahlaing and advanced towards Myingyan and Taungtha also raped 12 women from Yone Si Gyi Village, Taungtha Township.

A joint military column consisting of about 300 members of the Pyu Saw Htee, police, and military junta troops entered Taungtha Township through Mahlaing, and some of the troops separated from the column and stationed themselves at the Yone Si Gyi Police Station.

An official from the Taungtha People’s Defense Force added that during this stationing, about 12 women from the village of Yone Si Gyi were raped daily until they returned.

“The Yone Si Gyi came from Mahlaing with a force of about 300, and the column attacked. A sub-column of that column came to Yone Si Gyi village and joined forces with the police station that were already there. At that time, they raped about 12 women from the village until they returned,”

he added. When the military junta invaded the Myingyan, Natogyi, and Taungtha areas, not only its subordinate troops but also Pyu Saw Htee troops participated in the column, burning down the people’s homes, murders and sexual violence are reported to be frequent.

🟥The soldier was arrested by the military junta after being surrounded by students and the neighborhood

A soldier from the military junta entered a female dormitory in a school boarder in Myitkyina, Kachin State, with a gun and sexually assaulted students.

On September 21 (yesterday), at around 12 midnight, a soldier named Aung Myo Khant entered the female dormitory in the Pyinnyar Alin School Boarder in Sitapu Ward 1, Myitkyina.

There were 12th grade students in the female dormitory, and the soldiers first pointed a gun at the students and demanded their phones and money.

When the students said they did not have phones or money, the military junta soldiers forced the girls to take off their tops and groped their breasts.

“After entering the female’s dormitory, he pointed a gun at the girls who are the girls in the dormitory.After he pointed the gun at the girls in grade 12, and then asked them to take out their phones and money, and when they said they did not have phones or money, he forced they took off their shirts and turned their shirts around, and made them stand up and take off their bras, and then groped them one by one and did that,”

a local resident said. The military junta soldier then told the girls to go back to their places because he was worried that the teachers would come and go around the dormitory.

He then slept between the two girls and did some indecent things from above.

He added that while this was happening, a student in the dormitory grabbed a gun and ran downstairs to call teachers and family members for help, which led to the arrest of the military junta member.

“For a while, the girls were scared at first. They were scared. He said, “Are your teachers going around?”

the students said,

“They’re going around.” He said, “Okay, let’s sleep in your own places.

” Everyone slept in their own places. He got in between the two girls and did a swimming trick. At that moment, one of the girls remembered, grabbed a gun, and ran down at once. When their teachers went down, she saw that they were going down. She told the teachers. The girls upstairs also surrounded him and beat him when he didn’t have the gun. The girl downstairs told the teachers. The students, their families, and the people around them came and caught him,” the source added.

After the arrest of the military junta member, the public questioned him and found out that he was a military junta member who was under security at Police Station No. 5, and that he was taken away in cars by the military police. Another local confirmed to BBM about the following.

“There are the guys, who come from the military, under security at the Police Station, and they are probably those people,” another local told BBM.

In Myitkyina, where the military junta’s Northern Command is based, military junta soldiers have been frequently threatening the public with weapons and engaging in bullying and coercion.

🟥 Kyaukme town attacked by military junta on Union Road and Mong Tin Road

The battle in Kyaukme town, northern Shan State, is intensifying, with the military junta capturing some areas controlled by the TNLA and the revolutionary forces and reaching Kyaukme town.

On September 12, the military junta captured Hkaik Ton Huong village, which is between Naung Pein village and Kyaukme town, which was controlled by the military junta, and the village is said to be close to Kyaukme town, which is under TNLA control.

The military junta began attacking and capturing Naung Pein village in Kyaukme township, on the other side of the Goke Hteik, in the last week of August, and is continuing its offensive on Kyaukme town from there.

In addition, local military sources said that the military junta ground forces are gradually expanding after the first use of heavy weapons and drones in the attack on Kyaukme, just like when they attacked Naung Cho and Naung Pein villages.

“Since they have gained Hkaik Ton Huong, they have started to dominate the area around Kyaukme within 8 miles. Kyaukme is similar to Naung Cho, they are dropping drones, firing heavy weapons, advancing, and doing the same thing,”

a local resident told BBM. On the 14th, their own air force mistakenly bombed the military junta column advancing on Kyaukme, killing more than 20 military junta soldiers.

In addition, the military junta columns have also launched some airstrikes on Taung Sayleik village, just above Hkaik Ton Huong village, and are beginning to expand their lines.

In addition, the military junta’s military columns seem to be trying to pressurize Kyaukme town from both sides, not only from the Union Highway side, but also from the Mong Tin village side, and the battle is taking place along the road to Mong Tin village.

Mong Tin village is a strategically important village between Kyaukme town and Mong Lon town, and if the military junta takes over the village, it will put more military pressure on the revolutionary forces in Kyaukme town and Mong Lon town, he added.

“The military junta is also advancing towards Mong Tin and the battle is going on. I have heard that some of the military junta advance troops have reached the camp (Mong Tin junction) (we are still in contact to confirm),” the military source added.

The Mong Tin village is controlled by the Shan State Progress Party (SSPP), which has not been involved in any clashes with the military junta. When BBM contacted a TNLA official about the clashes along the village road.

“There is nothing to say about that. The main thing is that the revolutionary side is doing its own work,”

he said. The military junta recently announced the townships where the elections will be held, including Kyaukme town, where controlled by the TNLA and it is currently fighting, and Mogok town, which is where the battle is currently raging, so the revolutionary forces are saying that the battle is likely to continue in these townships.

In addition, the two young men were initially detained for a short period of time and taken to the 78th Infantry
Battalion, but when they arrived at the camp, they were given a choice between military service and imprisonment.

The local resident also said that one of the two young men who were kidnapped during the Popa Bodaw spirit festival was ransomed by the military for 35 lakhs kyats from the 78th Infantry Regiment, and the other was ransomed by the military for 51 lakhs kyats in Minbu because his family only found out about it two days later.

“One of the two men was ransomed by his own people and was released at 7pm. He had to pay 35 lakhs kyats. The other was ransomed for 51 lakhs kyats. He was brought back to Kyaukpadaung after crossing Minbu. I don’t know which army he was sent to,”

the local said. Not only these incidents, but also in the first week of September in Popa, there were also incidents in which the military had to ransom 2 local young men who were on a passenger bus going from Kyaukpadaung to Popa with money.

The military junta will soon open a 17th batch military service training, and even before the training begins, there are reports of more recruitment drives not only in Popa and Kyaukpadaung areas, but also in other areas under their control.

“It started on September 11th, when we reached the village, there was a clash near the village. The clash was fought with our full force, so the clash lasted for about between 2 hours and 3 hours. The dogs (soldiers) who were running away also ran away. The rest of the dogs (soldiers) did not run away. (Some) did not surrender when we were asked to surrender, so we cleared them,”

🟥 Central Military Command (La.Pa.Kha) believes the Pyu group’s statement regarding the military operation more than the soldiers

According to local military sources, the military has offered the Thida Yu Mon-led Pyu group one hundred millions kyats per village if they can capture the areas and villages held by the revolutionary forces in Myingyan Township and Natogyi Township in Mandalay Division.

Since the revolutionary forces are strong in Central Myanmar, the military junta has been relying not only on its subordinate forces but also on the local Pyu Saw Htee forces, especially the Pyu Saw Htee forces led by Thida Yu Mon from Myingyan.

The Pyu Saw Htee groups, which are experts in the areas, are not only targeted at the revolutionary forces, but also targeted the homes of the people in the areas where the revolution is strong, looting and burning them.

Now, the military junta has offered the Pyu Saw Htee unit led by Thida Yu Mon in Myingyan Township a reward of one hundred millions kyats if it can capture a village in the areas where the revolutionary forces are strong.

In addition, when attacking and capturing villages where the revolutionary forces are strong, at least (5) villages must be captured, and all the money will be collected once (5) villages are completed, a comrade who left the military and is serving in the Taungtha PDF told BBM.

“The Central Military Command (La.Pa.Kha Division) has shown great respect for Thida Yu Mon and said that if they can capture a village in the revolutionary area, he will give one hundred millions kyats.He must be able to capture at least five villages,”

the comrade added. The Pyu Saw Htee forces led by Thida Yu Mon have made this offer by the central military command after they have captured some camps of the Myingyan Black Tiger (MBT) Battalion (3) in recent months.

“After capturing one or two camps of the MBT Battalion (3), the Central Military Command has shown great respect for Thida Yu Mon and said that they will provide him with weapons and that they will capture them. In reality, this is a covert operation,”

the comrade said. In addition, the military leaders within the Central Military Command believe the Pyu Saw Htee more than the soldiers under them about the military situation in the Myingyan, Taungtha, and Natogyi areas.

“When I was in the army, these areas were fighting in a line. Even if you were a colonel, that news wouldn’t be accurate, considering the situation on the ground. But if they (Pyu Saw Htee) say it, I believe them,”

the comrade added. The military junta has been using a four-pronged approach around the Myingyan area in recent months, where the revolutionary forces are strong, and is also reinforcing its forces through Mahlaing Township and attacking in a line, according to military sources on the ground.

🟥A large number of new recruits under the strategy have defected

During the fighting in Hpakant, Kachin State, the Tactical Commander of Kamaing Township, Aung Zaw Lin, is reportedly forcing new recruitment of soldiers to use drugs and alcohol to fight.

Amid the ongoing fighting between the KIA-led revolutionary forces and the military junta in Hpakant Township, some new recruits under the strategy have defected, according to a military source on the ground, BBM reported.

“During the Hpakant battle, the Tactic‌al Commander of the Kamaing Township,Aung Zaw Lin ,forced the new recruits to use drugs and alcohol in a legal form, and then use them to fight,”

the military source said. In Hpakant Township, the military junta is conducting a large-scale military incursion with troops from the Brigade (33), and many military junta trainees are included in this force.

It is also said that along the route of the incursion in Hpakant Township, some military trainees are joining and defecting the revolutionary forces side.

Most of the soldiers who have defected the Hpakant side are from the Bago region, and there have been about 12 in total since mid-August, the military source added.

“There are a lot of defectors, many from Bago Region. The last batch in August were about a dozen, including the two in August and September. It started about in mid August, and that’s it until today,”

the military source added. The military junta launched an offensive in Hpakant since last May to recapture most of the territory they lost in Hpakant Township, and fierce fighting has been going on since then.

In order to get some food and other supplies for the military junta soldiers who have arrived in Thinkan Nyinaung town, Karen State,the Myawaddy administrators are asking for some supplies from military junta supporters in the town.

Since last September (6), the military junta Aung Zeya column that came from Kawkareik and the column that came from the No. 275th Myawaddy Infantry Battalion have caused the revolutionary forces to retreat from Thinkan Nyinaung town as well as the military junta to retake the positions that had lost.

After the military junta took over the town of Thinkan Nyinaung, some administrators in Myawaddy town began calling the military junta supporters on September 7th to ask them to provide food and other necessities for the military junta soldiers in Thinkan Nyinaung, a local resident told BBM.

“The neighborhood office called the houses that supported the military junta and asked them to send food and donate as much food as they could, because the military junta column was in Thinkan Nyinaung,”

a local confirmed to BBM. In addition, when requesting food and other necessities for the military junta soldiers, the neighborhood administrators only contacted some military junta supporters.

The local added that since there are many organizations in Myawaddy town, the neighborhood administrations may not dare to make official announcements in the neighborhood and make requests.

“They didn’t dare to make an official announcement and ask for it. Myawaddy is a place where they know each other’s military junta supporters. They just make phone calls and ask for it. I don’t know if they really want to give it or if it’s a trick from the neighborhood. They really ask for it,”

the local added. The military junta began attacking Myawaddy including Thinkan Nyinaung, which had been under the control of the revolutionary forces since April 2024, and only arrived in August 2025.
