The Junta’s minister of tourism has been attacked by Resistance groups in Pathein (Ayeyarwady). 10 regime soldiers have been killed. The fact that a high caliber figure like a minister is vulnerable to these attacks, is not a good sign for the regime. Coup leader Min Aung Hlaing previously had to cancel multiple visits to Putao, Kachin State, for fear of attacks.
