\ud83d\udea9\ud83d\udea9 1. PNFC Chair Khun Myat Tun Urges Military, Police, Border Guard, and People’s Militia Forces to Defect from the Junta<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

July 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PNFC Chair Khun Myat Tun<\/strong> has called on soldiers, police officers, forcibly conscripted members of the Border Guard Force (BGF), and junta-controlled People\u2019s Militia Forces to break away from the junta and defect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on July 10, he stated that the junta has suffered significant losses across multiple fronts\u2014including politics, military affairs, diplomacy, finance, and the economy\u2014and is already in a state of decline. As a result, it has intensified its brutal repression of civilians, treating the public as enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khun Myat Tun encouraged members of the military, police, BGF, and militia groups to proactively establish contact with resistance forces and join the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) if possible. If CDM participation is not feasible, he urged them to raise white flags and defect to the people\u2019s side when deployed to front-line battlefields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also warned against opening fire during the defection process and stressed that those who defect with white flags would be recognized as “righteous sons of the people.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, those captured during battle and identified as junta combatants would still be treated as such, he cautioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spring Revolution, he added, is a popular uprising and a movement that transcends both plains and mountains\u2014driven by the people’s aspiration for a new federal democratic system. He emphasized that the junta\u2019s authoritarianism cannot sustain itself and that efforts to preserve military dictatorship under any administrative disguise are bound to fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, soldiers, police, BGF, and People’s Militia members must break away from the junta-controlled institutions and unite with the people, Khun Myat Tun urged on behalf of the Pao National Federal Council (PNFC).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the morning of July 8, revolutionary forces launched twelve 107mm rockets<\/strong> at the Ketumati Air Base<\/strong> in Taungoo<\/strong>, with eleven<\/strong> rockets reportedly hitting their targets. The group Brave Warriors for Myanmar (BWM)<\/strong> released an update on the aftermath today, July 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public is urged to remain alert to military threats and to follow air raid precautionary measures to avoid junta airstrikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udea9\ud83d\udea9 5. KNU Brigade 4 Honors Battalion Commander Myo Swe Oo Who Defected from the Junta to Join the People<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

July 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karen National Union (KNU) Brigade 4<\/strong>, based in the Myeik-Tavoy District<\/strong> of Tanintharyi Region, issued a statement today honoring and warmly welcoming Lieutenant Colonel Myo Swe Oo<\/strong> (aka Saw Moe Zet<\/strong>), the former commander of the Thukha military outpost<\/strong>, who defected from the junta and sought refuge with the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lt. Col. Myo Swe Oo, who served as the second-in-command of Column 2, Battalion 282 under the junta\u2019s Military Operations Command (MOC)<\/strong>, reportedly defected on July 1<\/strong>, driven by his own convictions in opposition to the military dictatorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He contacted KNU Brigade 4, Battalion 10<\/strong>, bringing weapons and ammunition with him as he defected. Following his defection, KNU joint forces<\/strong> launched an assault on the Thukha outpost on July 7<\/strong> and successfully seized it. Reports indicate that 24 junta soldiers fled across the border into Thailand<\/strong> during the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KNU\u2019s official statement praised Lt. Col. Myo Swe Oo\u2019s principled decision, emphasizing that the junta continues to fabricate various justifications to sustain its hold on power and engages in unjust, arbitrary violence against the civilian population. Lt. Col. Myo Swe Oo was quoted as saying that the junta lacks justice and rules through violent repression of its own people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KNU Brigade 4<\/strong> stated that, in collaboration with local People\u2019s Defense Forces (PDFs) and other revolutionary forces, it has been actively seizing junta outposts. Among those now under resistance control are Thukha outpost<\/strong>, Ngar Yone Ni outpost<\/strong>, Baw Di outpost<\/strong>, Thi Khee outpost<\/strong>, and Thi Htar outpost<\/strong>, all located along the Myanmar\u2013Thailand border<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
