Radio NUG<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

The Ministry of Defense under the National Unity Government (NUG) reported that, during December 2024, the revolutionary joint forces successfully attacked and seized four permanent military camps of the junta in the Southern Military Region. There were a total of\u00a062 clashes<\/b>\u00a0with the junta forces, and more than\u00a082 strikes<\/b>\u00a0were carried out against junta camps and military convoys using drones and artillery, according to the statement from the Southern Military Region.<\/p>\n

Key camp seizures included:<\/p>\n

A junta camp stationed in Kwam Kyauk village along the Lamai-Kamaokanin Road near northern Ye Township on Union Highway No. 8,<\/p>\n

The Micro-Way Tower Camp near Kamphauk region in Yebyu Township, Tanintharyi Division,<\/p>\n

The Sinse Camp and Taung Thon Lone Camp in Hpa-an Township.<\/p>\n

During these operations, joint forces cleared surrounding territories and captured weapons and ammunition, including\u00a0120mm<\/b>,\u00a081mm<\/b>, and\u00a060mm mortars, small arms<\/b>, and ammunition.<\/p>\n

The report confirmed the deaths of\u00a0151 junta soldiers<\/b>\u00a0and injuries to\u00a089 others<\/b>\u00a0during December. Additionally, five junta soldiers defected to the revolutionary forces and were welcomed and protected.<\/p>\n

However, junta forces’ violent activities led to\u00a024 civilian deaths<\/b>,\u00a048 injuries<\/b>, and\u00a0349 arbitrary arrests<\/b>\u00a0within the month. These acts of brutality by junta forces and their allies have not decreased but rather escalated compared to previous months.<\/p>\n

The operations in the Southern Military Region were carried out by PDF battalions, People\u2019s Defense Forces (PaKaFa), Local Defense Forces (LDFs), Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA), Burma People\u2019s Liberation Army (BPLA), All Burma Students\u2019 Democratic Front (ABSDF), Mon State Revolutionary Force (MSRF), NMSP-AD (New Mon State Party Anti-Dictatorship), the Dawei People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), and other allied revolutionary forces, supported by drone units. The report also noted that actual junta casualties may exceed the numbers reported.<\/p>\n

Radio NUG<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

The Pa-O National Liberation Army (PNLA) announced that five of its members were captured and executed by the junta-aligned Pa-O National Organization\u2019s (PNO) People\u2019s Militia.<\/p>\n

Although both groups are ethnically Pa-O, the PNO People\u2019s Militia has reportedly been committing acts of violence against its own people under the junta\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n

On\u00a0January 12<\/b>, a joint force of junta troops and PNO militias launched an offensive in Si Saing Township, clashing heavily with PNLA forces. During this clash, five PNLA members were captured, and two were executed immediately. The junta-PNO forces suffered more than\u00a020 casualties<\/b>, including the death of their commander, while PNLA lost one fighter.<\/p>\n

The captured PNLA members were tortured and executed on\u00a0January 13<\/b>, around\u00a010:15 AM<\/b>, despite still being alive at\u00a08:00 AM<\/b>\u00a0that morning, according to a PNO statement. The PNO later released photographs of the tortured bodies.<\/p>\n

The PNLA criticized the PNO for its brutal actions, noting that PNLA forces had always treated captured junta and PNO members according to the rules of war, refraining from torture and execution. It also referenced a similar incident in September 2022, when the PNO executed five PNLA members who had returned to their village.<\/p>\n
