The National Unity Government (NUG) strongly condemned the junta\u2019s criticism that ASEAN and the international community are excluding it, saying such remarks are politically dishonest.
The NUG said it is deeply contradictory for military leaders\u2014who destroyed the 2020 election result through a violent power grab\u2014to now demand respect for election outcomes.
It added that as long as the junta continues arresting leaders, silencing the media, and killing civilians, its claim that it is protecting democracy is completely unacceptable.
The NUG also said ASEAN\u2019s exclusion of the junta is not baseless. Rather, it is because the junta has failed to implement the ASEAN Five-Point Consensus, refused political dialogue, and continued violence against the people.
The NUG stressed that political legitimacy cannot be created through sham elections held under force and repression. A genuine election requires freedom of expression, voter safety, and public trust\u2014none of which exist under the current military regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NUG Ministry of Human Rights said the junta, while trying to deceive the international community with a fake government and fake parliament, continued targeting civilians with airstrikes in April, killing 138 civilians.
According to the ministry, the junta committed 456 human rights violations in April, including 178 airstrikes. These attacks killed 138 civilians and injured 203 others.
The ministry said its video report shows how brutally the junta continues committing human rights abuses against civilians even while trying to present itself internationally through fake institutions.
The report also said the junta continued mass killings and destruction of civilian property. In April alone, 589 homes, 11 schools, 18 religious buildings, and seven health facilities were damaged or destroyed.
One of the worst incidents highlighted was the military raid on Phet Pin Ai village in Myingyan Township, Mandalay Region, between April 1 and 4. Junta troops reportedly killed civilians and burned homes and other civilian property.
Around 300 junta soldiers and Pyu Saw Htee members raided the village, killing eight civilians and three revolutionary fighters. The bodies of those killed were reportedly not returned to their families but were burned.
The ministry also said junta forces used a drone to attack family members carrying the body of a deceased mother, killing her son. More than 200 civilian homes and other public property were also reportedly burned.
Although the junta announced an amnesty for more than 3,000 prisoners to seek international recognition, the NUG said only a small number were political prisoners, while most were ordinary criminal prisoners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fighters from the Rangoon Warriors PDF Battalion who returned after taking part in the capture of the Lay Kay military camp in Bilin Township, Mon State, were welcomed by rear-line comrades and battalion families with victory flowers, according to a video released by the battalion.
The Lay Kay camp was captured by joint KNU and PDF forces on April 12. A video honoring the Rangoon Warriors PDF fighters who joined the operation was released on the night of May 10.
The battalion said its deputy commander led assault fighters, drone units, and sniper teams in the battle.
Rangoon Warriors PDF said it would continue fighting to achieve victories for the people.

The Coordination Team for Emergency Relief \u2013 Karenni (CTER-Karenni) said more than 1,000 people have been displaced after junta forces advanced into villages in eastern Hpruso Township, Karenni State. They urgently need food and shelter.
Around 200 residents fled in recent days, but as military activity intensified, the number of displaced people rose to more than 1,000.
The displaced civilians are sheltering in nearby forests, mountains, and safer locations, where they face shortages of shelter materials and basic food supplies.
CTER said humanitarian aid has not yet reached them because fighting remains tense. The group is trying to reach affected areas, but some locations remain difficult to access.
Local reports said junta troops raided and burned villages and IDP camps in eastern Hpruso on May 6. They reportedly shot dead one displaced man and beat and tortured another displaced person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heavy rain may occur in some areas of Kachin State, upper Sagaing Region, Magway Region, Rakhine State, Mon State, Yangon Region, and Ayeyarwady Region.
The ministry warned that strong winds, thunderclouds, localized heavy rain, lightning, flooding in urban areas, flash floods, and landslides may occur.
