Myanmar Military News Updates \u2013 Oct 19, 2025 Evening<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udea9\ud83d\udea9 1. Six civilians, including a 10-year-old child, killed and four injured as junta airstrikes hit Kwan Hae Village, Namhkan Township<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ta\u2019ang National Liberation Army (PSLF\/TNLA) Information and Public Relations Department has confirmed that six civilians \u2014 five women and one man \u2014 were killed, including a 10-year-old child, and four others were injured when the terrorist junta carried out airstrikes on Kwan Hae Village<\/strong>, Namhkan Township, in the 9th Brigade area of the Ta\u2019ang region in northern Shan State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, at 8:25 p.m. on October 18<\/strong>, the junta forces deliberately targeted civilians, dropping two 250-pound bombs<\/strong> from aircraft onto the village. Those killed were identified as Lway Ni Lar Aung (10), Lway Ri Ri Hlaing (21), Lway San San Oo (21), Daw Aye Thaung (35), U Than Kyaw (42),<\/strong> and Daw Aye Hain (47).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four injured were Maing Kyaw Zay Yu (4), Daw Ei Aye (33), U Kyaw (68),<\/strong> and Daw Saw Yin (77).<\/strong> A total of 25 houses<\/strong> and four motorcycles<\/strong> were also destroyed in the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previous night, the terrorist junta had also dropped a 500-pound bomb<\/strong> on 11-Mile Village<\/strong> in Kyaukme Township, injuring two monks and damaging one monastery and one monastic building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Records from the PSLF\/TNLA Information and Public Relations Department show that between October 1 and 17<\/strong>, the terrorist junta conducted 27 airstrikes<\/strong> in townships controlled by Ta\u2019ang forces \u2014 including one attack on Mantong, three on Kyaukme, five on Hsipaw, one on Mongngawt, four on Monglon, four on Namhkan, five on Namtu, three on Mongmit, and one on Mogok.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within these 17 days<\/strong>, the junta\u2019s aerial attacks have killed seven children, eleven men, and fourteen women<\/strong>; and injured eleven children, fourteen men, and fifteen women.<\/strong> The bombings also destroyed 113 houses, three schools, two monasteries, six monastic buildings, and four other structures.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In light of these ongoing aerial assaults, the TNLA continues to issue near-daily warnings urging civilians to remain vigilant and to adhere to protective measures against airstrikes<\/strong>, to minimize casualties from the junta\u2019s indiscriminate attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udea9\ud83d\udea9 2. Junta attacked Laiza six times this year using suicide drones, KIA reports<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kachin Independence Organization\/Army (KIO\/KIA)<\/strong> has revealed that the terrorist junta<\/strong> has attacked Laiza<\/strong>, the KIO\/KIA headquarters, six times this year<\/strong> using suicide drones.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the KIO\/KIA Information Department, the junta carried out another drone attack on October 16 at around 11 p.m.<\/strong>, and the incident was reported in an official statement released on October 18<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attack injured two Chinese vendors (a married couple)<\/strong> who were selling vegetables at Laiza\u2019s municipal market, and several market stalls were also damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KIO\/KIA further reported that similar drone attacks were launched against Laiza in September<\/strong>, making this the sixth such attack<\/strong> of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, whenever junta troops have suffered defeats in ground battles with KIA forces, they have resorted to aerial bombardments and artillery shelling<\/strong> targeting Laiza. More recently, however, as the junta\u2019s military bases near Laiza have been overrun, the regime has increasingly shifted to using combat drones<\/strong> instead of conventional heavy weapons, according to field reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udea9\ud83d\udea9 3. Two junta soldiers killed, seven injured in attack on troops stationed inside Aung Thapyay Monastery compound, Launglon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The People\u2019s Defense Organization (PDO) of Launglon Township<\/strong>, Tanintharyi Region, has announced that two junta soldiers were killed and seven injured<\/strong> in an attack on junta troops stationed within the Aung Thapyay Monastery compound<\/strong> in Launglon town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clash occurred on the morning of October 17<\/strong>, beginning at around 5:15 a.m.<\/strong> and lasting for about one and a half hours<\/strong>, during which both sides exchanged gunfire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The junta troops stationed inside Aung Thapyay Monastery were known for routinely intimidating and oppressing local civilians<\/strong> \u2014 harassing passersby, arbitrarily detaining youths, forcing conscription, extorting money from travelers, and seizing civilian goods. Locals said these ongoing acts of terrorism prompted the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PDO reported that two junta soldiers were confirmed dead, while among the seven wounded, two were critically injured.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This operation was a joint attack<\/strong> carried out by the Dawei District Joint Forces<\/strong> and the Launglon Than Mani Lipyar Defense Team<\/strong>, under coordinated command. No casualties were reported among the revolutionary forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Launglon PDO reaffirmed its commitment to continue fighting the fascist military dictatorship until its total elimination<\/strong>, declaring that the junta is the common enemy of the entire population.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udea9\ud83d\udea9 4. Deputy Police Chief and regional patrol officer severely injured in mine attack on Hmat Taing Police Station personnel, Paungde Township<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to local sources, two police officers<\/strong> \u2014 the Deputy Police Chief Aye Min Tun<\/strong> and Regional Patrol Officer Aung Kyaw Htet<\/strong> \u2014 were seriously injured when a police patrol from Hmat Taing Police Station<\/strong>, Paungde Township<\/strong>, western Bago Region<\/strong>, was struck by a landmine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At approximately 9:15 a.m. on October 18<\/strong>, five police personnel from Hmat Taing Police Station, traveling on three motorcycles<\/strong>, were heading toward Ta Man Gyi Village<\/strong> to conduct checkpoint inspections when the mine exploded<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shadow<\/strong>, an intelligence officer from the PPDF 3601 Battalion<\/strong>, confirmed the attack and the injuries sustained by the two officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That same day, junta forces were reportedly conducting territorial clearance and inspection operations<\/strong> in the surrounding area. The injured officers were transported by a covered vehicle<\/strong> to Pyay General Hospital<\/strong>, and follow-up inquiries into their condition are ongoing, according to Shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attacked police personnel were notorious for setting up illegal checkpoints under a banyan tree near Ta Man Gyi Village<\/strong>, where they arrested travelers<\/strong>, forcibly conscripted locals<\/strong>, confiscated consumer goods<\/strong>, and extorted money<\/strong>, imprisoning those who could not pay. The attack was therefore launched in retaliation for these acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operation was executed by police comrades from Sub-Battalion 4 of the 3601 Battalion<\/strong>, under the command of Strategic Unit 21.<\/strong> The ambush occurred at a junction connecting Kone Thar, Pauk Taw, and Hmat Taing<\/strong>, according to nearby residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report was filed by Radio NUG correspondent Ko Khant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
