News come from Yangon’s Dawbon township today that 44st UG group launched attacks using a heavy artillery at Dawbon police station. The UG group said that it launched shelling three times, and a video posted by Khit Thit Media showed that smokes came out of the police station. About the same time, an explosion took place at Dawbon township electricity supply office, which dispersed people who were queuing to pay electricity bill. These days, we saw on social media that a few townships in Yangon saw power cut-off for boycotting the bill. Hence, such queues were observed in front of township electricity supply offices.

Last night, the US Embassy Rangoon and UK in Myanmar posted on social media that they “are deeply concerned by the reports of serious injury to Ko Jimmy and to other detainees at the hands of the Myanmar military”. Ko Jimmy @ Ko Kyaw Min Yu, a prominent pro-democracy activist, was detained by the junta’s forces on the night of October 23 and severely injured in the process. His wife, Ma Nilar Thein, also a fellow veteran of 1988 revolution expressed deepest concerns for her husband’s wellbeing saying, “I am afraid that I won’t see him alive” again. Initial news mentioned that Ko Jimmy was unconscious and admitted into Defense Services General Hospital and reportedly required a head surgery. However, State Administration Council (SAC) is yet to acknowledge the arrest of the man, let alone his health condition.

The regime forces and lackeys continue to be targeted by different people defense forces and guerilla forces.

The military junta is upping their dirty game by issuing yet another gag order on U Kyi Win, one of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi lawyers, before the upcoming court date on October 26, in which the detained leader is scheduled to testify herself.

A week after the ASEAN announced the exclusion of junta leader, Min Aung Hlaing from attending the regional bloc’s summit next week, the Myanmar military government still seemed to be grasping at whatever straws remained to be included in the special meeting instead of being fair and happy that a non-political representative would be representing the country. The junta-Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued yet another statement on October 22, complaining that ASEAN decision is in violation of the provisions, objectives and cherished principles of the ASEAN charter. The statement claimed that the heads of state or government of Myanmar have the equal and full rights to participate in the summit, and Myanmar refuses to accept the exclusion. The only people who are still unhappy about this news are Min Aung Hlaing and his followers… we can confidently say, many Myanmar people welcome the exclusion of the junta leader.

Another day under the military regime means another massacre happening somewhere in the country. Today, news came from Ayardaw and Khin-U townships in Sagaing Region that regime forces carried out a shooting spree in four villages this morning. Khit Thit Media reported that five villagers from Khin-U township were accused of being People Defense Forces (PDFs) and killed on the spot. A local villager said that regime soldiers found homemade weapons but villagers could not confirm because they have been on the run as they feared for their lives. Ayardaw township saw raids and arrests by the regime soldiers. This morning, six villagers from Kan Yin villages were abducted, and valuables from the village were also ransacked. As a retaliation, Ayardaw Resistance Army (ARA) detonated landmines at two military trucks which returned from Kan Yin village. ARA estimated that at least 10 junta soldiers were injured.
