First item (expanded) - In Nyaung-U, Salin and Pakokku — attacks on locations where military commission units were stationed; over 30 military commission soldiers killed and weapons seized
m.CDM — March 11
Sources say resistance forces struck several positions where military commission units were stationed in Nyaung-U Township (Mandalay Region) and Salin and Pakokku townships (Magway Region).
On March 1 the Nyaung-U PaKaFa (Pugam–Bilu) group twice attacked a military commission column that had come to loot and burn civilian homes. In the morning, columns of about 30 fighters each advancing from the Phlankan village direction were engaged by a PaKaFa unit led by deputy commander Ye Baw Panda, resulting in the death of at least 30 soldiers.
During the fighting they also seized one MA-3 rifle, three MA-1 rifles, eight magazines, about 100 rounds, and other military supplies.
That same midday, a second strike hit a column departing from Kuto village; the military commission reportedly suffered casualties, and the column burned about 40 houses in Kuto village and torched around 20 motorcycles while stealing residents’ jewelry.
In Salin Township, on March 10 in the Kan-Pya-Se-Tout-Ta-Ya area, resistance groups reportedly ambushed a military commission vehicle column of about 20 from the Se-Tout-Ta-Ya direction. The action was claimed by the Down Nyi Naung Pyauk Kyar group; four soldiers and a Pyo-Saw-Thi were declared killed on the spot and three were severely wounded, with vehicles damaged.
Also, in Pakokku Township, in the west Bhone Kan (Pyu) village area, on the nights of March 9 between roughly 7:00–10:30 pm, Pakokku PaKaFa and Cobra One groups fired five shock-attack rockets at positions where soldiers and Pyo-Saw-Thi were stationed. The projectiles struck houses where soldiers were garrisoned; the junta has reported possible casualties but exact figures are not yet confirmed.

Second item (expanded) - In Ann Township, the junta’s airstrike on a detention camp lasted over three hours; 116 thone-pan died, including detained military officers.
m.CDM — March 11
Rakhine State — The AA (Arakan Army) announced on March 11 that a detention camp holding captured soldiers and civilians in the Dalaikchaung area of Ann Township was bombed by junta air forces for approximately three and a half hours, resulting in 116 deaths (including detained officers) and injuries.
According to the AA, the junta used eight aircraft and repeatedly bombed the site from about 11:02 a.m. on March 8 until around 2:28 p.m., continuously striking the camp; many detainees died in groups. The AA said 116 were killed and about 32 wounded. Among the wounded were people with severe, minor and moderate injuries; civilians who had been detained are included in the casualty lists, the AA said.
Because many bodies are badly burned or missing identifiable parts, it is difficult to identify some of the deceased; the AA will provide further details after investigations. The AA said this is one of the deadliest air attacks on thone-pan detainees in the Arakan conflict and that many senior military personnel were killed in the raid.

Third item (expanded) - In Yinmabin District — NUG says a policewoman was sexually assaulted; the unit commander and suspects are detained, and the victim’s family fears for their safety.
m.CDM — March 11
In Yinmabin District, Sagaing Region, the National Unity Government (NUG) issued a statement on March 11 saying it is making every effort to establish the truth about an incident in which a female police sergeant was subjected to sexual violence at Battalion (20).
NUG’s Ministry of Defense said Battalion commander Yan Shin Aung, the deputy commander, and other suspects have been detained for investigation. They said evidence is being secured and transferred so that necessary investigations can proceed. NUG emphasized that the victim and alleged perpetrators are subject to military-style procedures and that investigations will follow due process.
During the investigation, NUG said its actions have been criticized — including a report that Yan Shin Aung made threatening comments on his social media, which has generated public debate about NUG’s handling of the case.
Civil society groups, including 149 nationwide women’s organizations, have called for the suspects to be effectively prosecuted. These groups say the incident represents an abuse of authority during the resistance period and is a serious violation of human dignity that tarnishes the reputation of the resistance movement.
The victim and her family are reportedly being relocated to a safer place; the family fears threats from Battalion (20). The victim’s father reported ongoing threats and that children had to move deeper into the forest because soldiers were present near the village. Nearby groups at township, district and village levels are said to be preparing protective assistance because of concern about Battalion (20)’s commander.

m.CDM — March 11
At the UN Headquarters in New York, representatives discussed Myanmar women who are striving to uproot the military junta. At a side-event titled “Voices from Grassroots Women Peacebuilders” during the 70th session of the Commission on the Status of Women, the Myanmar Permanent Mission’s representatives released a statement on March 11.
Ambassador Sidsel Bleken of Norway, speaking for Norway’s permanent mission, said Norway recognizes the humanitarian pressures faced by the Myanmar people and will continue to assist civil society organizations helping them. Myanmar’s Permanent Mission representative U Kyaw Moe Tun also attended and delivered closing remarks.
Participants highlighted the important role of women in addressing issues such as the junta’s sham elections and the variety of sexual and other human rights abuses committed by the military, stressing that women and girls suffer severe physical and psychological violence. They also discussed issues including airstrikes, detention conditions, and the challenges of achieving justice while the country remains under junta rule. U Kyaw Moe Tun said the military is the principal perpetrator of many of these atrocities and crimes against humanity, especially those targeting women and children.
Despite these challenges, grassroots women peacebuilders continue to raise their voices across sectors and levels and stand at the forefront of the resistance, he added.

Eleventh item (expanded) - Analysts say Myanmar’s conflict could last through 2030; governance and economic capacity may become increasingly important
m.CDM — March 11
Analysts observe that Myanmar’s armed and political conflicts could continue through 2030, with continued competition between the junta and various opposition forces. The junta focuses on air power and weapon resupply while struggling economically due to scarce dollars and fuel shortages, and its international ties are mainly with China and Russia, limiting Western engagement.
Opposition forces have improved local coordination, drone usage and territorial governance in some areas, building local administrative capacity and civilian support. However, long-term sustainability is constrained by problems in logistics and economic base.
Analysts conclude the conflict could persist to 2030, with more localized governance structures and territorial control emerging. International pressures may open negotiation channels, but the future will hinge not only on military strength but on economic and governance capacity.
Global shifts in energy and geopolitics will also affect Myanmar’s trajectory. The changing nature of warfare is moving toward flexible security alignments; countries like India, Vietnam and Indonesia balance security cooperation with the U.S. while purchasing arms from Russia and maintaining economic ties with China. Meanwhile, investment in drones, cyber and electronic warfare is increasing because drones are relatively low-cost and effective. Military budget priorities could squeeze development budgets, but in an unstable world, security increasingly underpins economic stability.
