One internally displaced civilian was killed and six others were injured.
Banmauk town has been fully controlled by the National Unity Government (NUG)’s Military Region (1) and its allied forces since September 20, 2025. Junta troops and their northern-allied militia, SNA, have been attempting to push in from the outskirts to retake the town, but PDF forces continue to hold the town firmly. The junta, unable to advance on the ground, has resorted to frequent airstrikes.
Currently, residents from four urban wards and about 15 nearby villages remain displaced. The Banmauk Township People’s Administration Committee states that IDPs urgently need food, clothing, blankets, and mosquito nets.

7. SAC-M: The junta’s sham election will not repeat the 2010 scenario
The Special Advisory Council for Myanmar (SAC-M) released its new report, “Myanmar’s Way Forward,” on December 5.
Using information submitted by 25 revolutionary organizations—including NUG, NUCC, ethnic resistance organizations (EROs), federal units, ethnic councils, and civil society groups—SAC-M concludes:
* The junta’s December “election” is a fraud with no fairness, unlike the 2010 election scenario.
* The international community including ASEAN, the UN, and neighboring states must reject it completely.
* Recognizing the junta’s election would grant them the “legitimacy” they desperately seek.
SAC-M member Dr. Yanghee Lee stated:
“For nearly five years, the people of Myanmar have sacrificed everything to keep their democratic path alive and resist the military’s brutal campaign. Governments must stand with the Myanmar people by rejecting the junta’s sham elections. Failure to do so betrays the people and abandons the very values they claim to uphold.”
SAC-M emphasized that revolutionary groups share a unified vision for a federal democratic union with civilian governance, rule of law, and human rights protections. It urged the international community to reject junta-run elections and instead strengthen support for Myanmar’s legitimate representatives.
