    According to local sources, at least nine civilians were killed<\/strong> after the terrorist Military Council carried out aerial bombings using gyrocopters and fighter jets in Myaung Township, Salingyi Township (Sagaing Region), and Hakha Township (Chin State).<\/strong>
    On January 5 in the morning<\/strong>, despite no clashes taking place, Military Council forces bombed Nabat Village in Myaung Township<\/strong> using three gyrocopters<\/strong>.
    As a result of the explosions, two civilians, including one woman, were killed<\/strong>, and several houses were damaged.
    Similarly, on January 4 at around 2:00 PM<\/strong>, a sub-township hospital in Mataungta Village, Salingyi Township<\/strong> was bombed with two bombs dropped from a gyrocopter<\/strong> that took off from the Monywa-based Northwestern Command (NaMaKha).
    During the attack, one doctor and two hospital cooks were killed<\/strong>, and others were injured, though the exact number of injured has not yet been confirmed.
    Local residents said the hospital was constructed only after the military coup and that no armed clashes had ever occurred in the surrounding area<\/strong>.

    m.CDM \u2013 January 5<\/strong>
    The 21 BAGAN resistance group<\/strong> announced on January 5 that it will investigate and take action against individuals and media outlets spreading false information<\/strong>.
    This statement followed a post made on January 4 by a revolutionary news page claiming that the entire 21 BAGAN group had defected to the Military Council.
    The group clarified via video that the claim was entirely false<\/strong>, stating that 21 BAGAN has never negotiated or collaborated with the military<\/strong> since its formation on May 18, 2024<\/strong>.
    21 BAGAN reaffirmed that its objective is the complete eradication of dictatorship<\/strong> and the establishment of a genuine federal democratic system under the people<\/strong>.

    While acknowledging challenges during the revolution, the group warned that spreading false news damages the image of the revolution and undermines public and allied trust<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    m.CDM \u2013 January 5<\/strong>
    The Madaya Township People\u2019s Defense Force<\/strong> announced the launch of a fundraising campaign titled \u201cTo Madaya, To Home\u201d<\/strong>, aiming to raise 150 million kyats<\/strong> for weapons and ammunition.
    Madaya, located near Mandalay, has long been a stronghold of resistance forces and remains strategically significant.
    While several military bases were captured in 2024, intense counter-offensives in late 2025 forced temporary territorial losses.
    The campaign emphasizes that funds are solely for arms procurement<\/strong>, noting that ammunition costs approximately 12,000 kyats per bullet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Donors are invited to contribute via Facebook Messenger, starting from the cost of a single bullet. Certificates and entertainment programs will be offered in appreciation. The campaign will run for one and a half months<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
