m.CDM | November 3, 2026
The Arakan Army (AA) has warned that it will take decisive retaliatory action against every individual involved in the bombing of a maternity hospital in Mrauk-U Township, Rakhine State.
AA spokesperson U Khaing Thukha described the attack as one of the most horrific incidents in human history and said those responsible for the alleged war crime would be held accountable.
He accused the Myanmar military of deliberately targeting hospitals, civilians, and public infrastructure, including roads and bridges, in recent days, in blatant violation of fundamental humanitarian principles.
According to reports, shortly after 5 p.m. on November 1, two military fighter jets dropped four cluster bombs on a temporary clinic and a maternity hospital in Mrauk-U.
The attack reportedly killed five people, including an infant only a few months old, and injured at least nine others.
U Khaing Thukha stated:
“We, the ULA/AA, will make every possible effort to ensure justice for our people who were killed or injured in this terrorist attack and to take retaliatory action against every individual involved.”
On the same day, the military reportedly carried out additional airstrikes on Yoe Chaung Bridge in Kyauktaw Township, Sane Min Pyin Village in Kyaukphyu Township, and Ywa Chaung Gyi Village in Wirathani Township.
The attacks reportedly killed 12 civilians, including a newborn baby, and injured as many as 32 people in a single day.
The report further alleges that the military has intensified deliberate attacks on civilian populations following battlefield setbacks and the loss of several military positions in fighting around Ngapyi Island in Pauktaw Township, as well as in Sittwe and Kyaukphyu.

Following their defection, military forces reportedly conducted an airstrike near the eastern junction of Myaing Township shortly after 6 p.m. on November 2.

- Myanmar’s UN Ambassador Calls for Action Against Military Junta’s Criminal Brutality
m.CDM | November 3, 2026
Myanmar’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador U Kyaw Moe Tun, has called for action to confront what he described as the criminal brutality and depravity of the military junta.
The ambassador made the remarks during a plenary meeting of the United Nations General Assembly discussing the International Criminal Court’s annual report.
During the meeting, ICC President Judge Tomoko Akane delivered a prerecorded video presentation summarizing the court’s judicial and prosecutorial activities, its work involving victims, and its reparations efforts, based on annual report A/81/329.
Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun accused Myanmar’s military of committing widespread and systematic atrocities against civilians, including war crimes and crimes against humanity.
He said the military continues to carry out indiscriminate airstrikes and artillery attacks against schools, hospitals, religious buildings, displacement camps, food distribution centers, and civilian settlements across the country.
The ambassador specifically referred to devastating airstrikes on displacement camps sheltering school-age children in eastern Loikaw Township, as well as attacks on civilian infrastructure in Rakhine State, including a maternity clinic, schools, and bridges.
He emphasized that these tragic incidents occurred shortly after the ASEAN Special Envoy’s visit to Myanmar.
The United Nations Secretary-General has also strongly condemned the attacks, according to the report.
- Political Prisoners at Thayarwady Prison Allegedly Subjected to Forced Labor, Extortion, and Inadequate Medical Care
m.CDM | November 3, 2026
The Political Prisoners Network Myanmar (PPNM) has reported that political prisoners at Thayarwady Prison are being subjected to forced labor and financial extortion while receiving only vitamin B1 and Cevit tablets, regardless of their medical conditions.
In a statement issued on November 3, PPNM accused prison authorities, including Deputy Prison Superintendent Aye Min, of intensifying repression against political prisoners.
According to the organization, prison officials have forced elderly prisoners over the age of 60, as well as those suffering from illnesses, to perform labor.
Prisoners unable to work are allegedly required to pay 100,000 kyats each.
PPNM also reported that prison authorities collected money eight times during October 2026 under the pretext of donations.
Those unable to pay reportedly faced additional labor assignments, transfers between cells, or relocation to different wards within the men’s prison facilities.
Prisoners also face serious difficulties obtaining clean drinking water and adequate medical treatment.
According to PPNM, the water supplied by prison authorities contains visible particles and is unsafe to drink, forcing prisoners to purchase drinking water with their own money from prison shops.
Medical services are reportedly extremely inadequate.
The prison’s food rations, including rice porridge, bean curry, and fish curry, are also said to lack sufficient nutritional value.
PPNM further alleged that prison medical personnel have falsified medical assessments of prisoners suffering from lower-body weakness caused by malnutrition.
Regardless of the illness or symptoms, prisoners reportedly receive only vitamin B1 and Cevit tablets instead of appropriate medical treatment.
- Green Paper Shared to Encourage CDM Civil Servants and Support Future Federal Democratic Administration
m.CDM | November 3, 2026
The Karenni State Civil Servants’ Civil Disobedience Movement Council (KSCSC-CDM) has shared a Green Paper written by Dr. Okkar, Joint Secretary of the National Unity Government’s CDM Success Committee.
The document was released on November 3 to provide civil servants participating in the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) with an opportunity to study and reflect on their roles.
More than five years into Myanmar’s revolution, some CDM civil servants have reportedly begun feeling that their contributions are no longer important or necessary.
There have also been growing perceptions that the revolution can continue without their participation.
KSCSC-CDM said the Green Paper aims to introduce new ideas and perspectives that can contribute to establishing a future federal democratic civil service system.
The council noted that interim revolutionary governments have emerged in various federal units, with CDM civil servants participating in different sectors to strengthen administrative institutions.
It praised those already contributing to the development and operation of interim government structures.
However, KSCSC-CDM acknowledged that existing interim administrations face significant limitations and challenges, preventing all CDM civil servants from participating at present.
Nevertheless, the council emphasized that all CDM civil servants will eventually be needed to participate in building and operating the civil service system of a future federal democratic Myanmar.
- Hpasawng People’s Defence Force and CDM Healthcare Workers Provide Medical Services to Displaced and Local Communities
m.CDM | November 3, 2026
The Hpasawng People’s Defence Force (P3-1108), operating under the Southern Shan–Karenni Military Regional Command, has collaborated with healthcare professionals participating in the Civil Disobedience Movement to provide medical assistance to displaced people and local communities.
Medical teams visited villages and internally displaced persons’ camps to deliver essential healthcare services.
According to the Hpasawng People’s Defence Force, the outreach activities took place on November 2.
Services included prenatal care, maternal and child healthcare, medical assistance for elderly residents, and other necessary treatments.
The group said the growing number of displaced people has increased the demand for timely medical assistance.
It emphasized the need to replenish essential medicines and maintain preventive healthcare programs and public health education activities.
Beyond providing medical care, the Hpasawng People’s Defence Force appealed for greater public participation and support in community service initiatives.
The group stressed that community involvement remains essential to sustaining healthcare services and other humanitarian activities in the region.
- ULA/AA and Mizoram Transport Association Sign MoU to Facilitate Cross-Border Trade
m.CDM | November 3, 2026
The United League of Arakan/Arakan Army (ULA/AA) and the Mizoram Commercial Vehicle Owners’ Association (MCVOA), based in Siaha District in southern Mizoram State, India, have signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen cooperation in cross-border trade.
The agreement was signed following a meeting on October 29 between ULA/AA representatives and an MCVOA delegation led by K. Hmangaih Liana, chairman of the association’s Siaha District branch.
The discussions focused on resolving potential misunderstandings along the southern Mizoram–Myanmar border and establishing fair and reasonable transportation charges for vehicles and boats.
Both sides also reportedly agreed to keep border crossings at Rali and Salachhuah villages open daily until 8 p.m.
The agreement follows earlier disruptions to border trade.
On September 14, a dispute reportedly broke out between Myanmar traders and volunteers from the Mara Thyutlia Py (MTP) organization in Khaikhy Village, resulting in the closure of border trading points.
On September 24, ULA/AA border liaison officials met with MTP President S. Vabeihasa and Vice President F. C. Khihnia.
Following those discussions, the trade restrictions were lifted.
Southern Mizoram remains an important supply route for Rakhine State and southern Chin State, particularly for fuel and other essential commodities.
The new agreement is expected to improve coordination and facilitate the movement of goods across the border.
