Good day. We will now present m.CDM’s domestic news.
Today’s main stories include: SRF members agreeing to continue revolutionary duties under the NUG’s Code of Conduct; the Arakan Army reportedly reusing captured military vessels and armored vehicles; renewed junta attacks and killings in Pakokku and Hpakant; NUG warnings over heavy rain and strong winds; and Kim Aris urging global participation in a campaign marking Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s 81st birthday.
First, the Student Revolutionary Force (SRF) has reportedly agreed that members who have not committed crimes will continue revolutionary duties under the NUG’s military Code of Conduct. The agreement followed a May 28 meeting between SRF representatives and officials from local people’s administration and defense bodies in Mingin Township, Sagaing Region. The parties agreed that detained SRF members without criminal allegations would be released, while cases involving complaints would be handled under the NUG legal framework. Both sides also urged supporters not to spread divisive statements online.
In Rakhine State, the Arakan Army is reportedly repairing and reusing military vessels and armored vehicles captured from the junta, including Sea Lion landing craft and armored vehicles. Analysts say this reflects a strategic shift by the AA, using the junta’s own naval and military assets to counter its advantages in riverine and coastal warfare.
In Sagaing Region’s Myinmu Township, resistance forces ambushed around 20 junta troops who were reportedly heading out to set up an ambush position along the Monywa–Mandalay road. About seven junta soldiers were killed and five injured, while three resistance fighters were wounded.
Meanwhile, junta forces allegedly killed at least 13 civilians in Pakokku Township, Magway Region, and Hpakant Township, Kachin State. Reports say troops burned homes, committed sexual violence, looted property, and shot civilians. In Hpakant’s Lone Khin village, three civilians were reportedly killed after being accused in connection with butchering and selling a cow shot by junta forces.
On the Minbu–Ann road, resistance groups reportedly mined and attacked a junta logistics vehicle carrying 122 mm MLRS rockets. Six soldiers were killed, three were captured alive, and 28 rockets, ammunition, weapons, and a vehicle were seized. The operation was reportedly carried out by local defense forces together with CDF-Asho and the New Society Army.
The Magway Federal Unit Defense Column has also expanded with the inclusion of the Daung Sit Aung LPDF, which will operate as Column 2-4 under the Magway Federal Unit government’s defense structure.
People’s Goal reported that in 2025, 502 forcibly recruited junta soldiers defected to resistance forces, while 82 were captured as prisoners of war. It said a total of 2,498 junta personnel defected, surrendered, or were captured during the year, with the highest numbers recorded in Sagaing and Magway.
The NUG has announced that it will begin disclosing public resource revenues, contracts, and ownership related to Myanmar’s oil and gas sector in line with international standards such as EITI and OCDS. The NUG said junta-controlled resource revenues are being used to finance airstrikes and violence against civilians.
The NUG also warned that heavy rain and strong winds may affect much of Myanmar over the next three days due to weather systems from the Bay of Bengal and the Philippine Sea. It urged displaced people, especially those living near rivers, hillsides, and low-lying areas, to remain alert and relocate temporarily if needed.
Kim Aris, the son of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, has urged people worldwide to join a global challenge marking her 81st birthday. The campaign, running from June 1 to 19, invites participants to run 81 kilometers, walk 81,000 steps, cycle 81 miles, or take part in another meaningful way under the theme “Freedom for her, freedom for all.”
Finally, Justice For Myanmar welcomed Iceland’s removal of Myanmar crony Ko Ko Latt from the post of honorary consul to Myanmar. JFM said Ko Ko Latt resigned after scrutiny of his business links with junta-controlled and military-linked entities, including Myanmar Timber Enterprise and Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited.
