Resistance sources report over 100 regime soldiers killed today. Although it is impossible to verify these claims, but it is clear that the regime is having difficulties, especially in Sagaing where it had to launch an airstrike after suffering several losses in Kawlin.
Yangon has seen several attacks today, especially in Mingalardon and Mayangone, two military-heavy townships.
In Ayeyarwady the regime seized 7 houses from civilians accused of supporting Resistance groups. Similar episodes have been recently reported in other areas of the country, after the regime announced it will seize the land properties of civilians who engage in anti-military activities.
The head of the IIMM (Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar), a UN body in charge of investigating crimes and violations of international law committed in Myanmar since 2011, specifically cited “crimes against humanity”, after reviewing the evidence collected since the coup. Now it’s time for the United Nations and the International Crime Court to act, there are no more excuses.
