## 1) Junta bombs the Khin-U, Myay-ni-thyo junction again; at least 5 civilians killed
m.CDM – December 27
Locals said the junta again carried out an airstrike near Myay-ni-thyo junction in Khin-U Township, Shwebo District, Sagaing Region, killing at least five civilians.
At around 2:00 p.m. on December 27, a fighter jet dropped two bombs near the junction, and an Mi-35 helicopter attacked with rockets and machine guns, according to reports.
At least five civilians may have been killed, and at least 10 vehicles, including fuel tanker trucks, were burned and destroyed. Many people were also injured.
Reports say casualties were high because passenger vehicles and fuel trucks were stuck there after the junta blocked the Shwebo–Myitkyina road.
The same junction was also bombed on December 18, when one civilian was killed and six were injured.

## 9) Call to join the Anti-Sham Election Campaign
m.CDM – December 27
The People Movement Platform urged people to participate in the Anti-Sham Election Campaign, calling on governments worldwide to reject the junta’s sham election and any results emerging from it.
The campaign also urged the international community not to engage with or recognize any institution that may emerge from the process, and to respect the will of the Myanmar people.
Ah Han, [12/27/2025 11:19 PM]
It said the platform is a coalition of civil society groups, strike committees, overseas organizations, and activists.
One participant, Ms. Shila, said elections held under fear are “sham elections,” engineered by an illegal junta to gain legitimacy, with outcomes pre-set to favor the junta’s proxy party.
The report cited a survey conducted in October and November of more than 3,700 people: 98% of respondents inside Myanmar said the election would not be fair, and 96% said they would not go vote.
It also referenced a RESPECT survey by BACS (Burma Affairs and Conflict Studies) among Myanmar migrant workers in 14 major Thai cities, reporting that 98% said they had no desire to vote and that they strongly opposed the junta’s sham election.
