m.CDM — October 30
KIA-led joint forces reportedly captured three junta–SNA military camps in three villages in Homalin Township, Sagaing Region.
Ground-based military sources said the joint forces captured the camps stationed in Yay Zalauk and Yay Paw Mee villages on October 30. They had also captured a joint SNA–junta camp in Taw Oo Village on October 22, and reportedly now control territory up to the outskirts of Homalin town.
The fighting reportedly caused heavy casualties among junta and SNA forces. Large quantities of weapons, ammunition, and military equipment were also seized.
Meanwhile, a junta column of approximately 700 troops traveling from Maeza Village toward Wuntho was ambushed repeatedly by resistance forces, according to military sources.
The column had set out on October 5. Hundreds were reportedly killed during the fighting, and bodies, weapons, and ammunition were seized.
The Wuntho Battalion No. 4 under the Kalay District reportedly said it also seized rice, counterfeit Mevius cigarettes, and rough tobacco cigarettes dropped by a Y-12 aircraft from junta Division 33 for the column.
Another junta column traveling from Maeza toward Tigyaing was also ambushed by resistance forces. Many troops, including an officer holding the rank of lieutenant colonel, were reportedly killed. Four resistance fighters were also killed.
The column allegedly forced civilians to wear military uniforms and walk through minefields, using them as human shields.
The column also reportedly raided and burned villages, looted civilian property, and carried out daily airstrikes. As a result, tens of thousands of residents between Indaw, Wuntho, and Tigyaing have been displaced.
In northern Shan State’s Mongmit Township, KIA-led forces also ambushed a junta column advancing toward the Myitsone area.
The forces surrounded and attacked the column on October 30. More than 20 junta bodies and large quantities of weapons and ammunition were reportedly seized.
A junta deputy battalion commander was reportedly killed, while the battalion commander, who was leading the column, was wounded. The entire column then collapsed and fled.

m.CDM — October 30
Seventy Rakhine civil-society organizations have called on the UN Security Council, ASEAN, and international governments to establish a no-fly zone over Rakhine State to protect civilians, homes, and property, prevent famine, and stop further mass deaths.
The groups issued the appeal on October 30 in response to what they described as systematic and intensified junta airstrikes against civilian targets in Rakhine State.
Their statement strongly condemned the air attacks on civilian targets in Arakan and called for emergency assistance for displaced people facing famine.
The organizations also called for direct humanitarian assistance and for international organizations to urgently provide medicine, food, and basic necessities through cross-border humanitarian channels so that displaced and affected civilians can receive aid safely and on time.
According to the Myanmar-based Military and Security Affairs Institute, 136 airstrikes targeting civilians were carried out in Rakhine State during September alone.
7. PPNM calls for practical international action to free political prisoners
m.CDM — October 30
The Political Prisoners Network Myanmar, or PPNM, has urged the international community to take practical action to secure the release of political prisoners instead of merely expressing concern.
In a statement marking International Political Prisoners Day on October 30, PPNM called for increased concrete measures capable of saving political prisoners’ lives.
Since the 2021 military coup, thousands of people who stood for democracy, freedom, and human rights in Myanmar have remained unjustly detained. PPNM said political prisoners face growing threats to their lives because of torture, sexual violence, denial of medical treatment, and inhumane prison conditions.
PPNM said it stands in solidarity with all unjustly detained political prisoners worldwide, including those in Myanmar, and will continue to honor and remember those who have died in prison.
The organization emphasized that simply expressing concern about political prisoners’ lives and freedom is no longer sufficient. It urged the international community to take additional practical measures to save their lives.
8. Thai military orders closure of border boat crossings after artillery shells land near Mae Sot
m.CDM — October 30
Border sources said the Thai military ordered the closure of boat crossings after artillery shells fired from Myanmar landed near Mae Sot, Thailand.
Clashes between junta forces and joint KNLA forces in the Myawaddy area of Karen State reportedly caused artillery shells to land on homes in Mae Ko Kine Village, Mae Sot Township. A Thai woman was injured. The Thai military issued the order on the evening of October 29 for security reasons.
The crossings affected are cargo-transport boat crossings in Mae Sot and Phop Phra townships.
Residents along the Moei River said the crossings would remain closed for one week, from October 30 through November 6.
In early December 2025, the Thai military also closed trade boat crossings in the Mae Sot–Myawaddy area for a week after artillery shells fired from Myanmar landed inside Thailand.
The Thai news outlet The Reporters also reported that the Myanmar–Thailand Border Coordination Center in Tak Province ordered customs checkpoints and border routes in Mae Sot and Phop Phra to close for seven days.
The closures were reportedly linked to intense fighting near Nilapan and Phalu villages in Myawaddy Township, across from Mae Sot, between Myanmar military forces and resistance groups fighting against the junta.
Thai authorities are currently conducting patrols along the border in Mae Sot and Phop Phra and have increased patrol personnel to reduce residents’ concerns and maintain security.
