Major General Zaw Min Tun, leader of the Information Team of the State Administration Council, provided insights into Myanmar's ongoing situation. He detailed the repatriation of illegal residents following legal scrutiny and highlighted collaborative efforts with China to establish the rule of law in border areas.

However, armed conflicts persist, with bomb attacks in Namtsalat and arm exchanges in Namtkham of Northeastern Command area, and attacks in Tron Ai and Koetankauk Outposts in Rakhine State.

In Kayah State, a firefight occurred near Loikaw. Major General Zaw Min Tun emphasized the significance of the Tron Ai Security Post's operation for the Myanmar-India Friendship Bridge and the Kladan Multi-Modal Transit Project, stressing that the AA group's targeting of these areas hinders Rakhine State's development.

He noted the condemnation of these actions by the local community in Paletwa and northern Paletwa and pledged effective measures against such hindrances. In Namtkham, the TNLA launched attacks, facing failures and accusing Tatmadaw of using gas poison.

Likewise, military officers, other ranks, and families displayed strong defensive actions in Namtsalat, facing many failures by the insurgents. Maj-Gen Zaw Min Tun expressed recognition by the Head of state and Tatmadaw for the strong resistance displayed by those in Namtsalat.

Major General Zaw Min Tun reiterated Tatmadaw's commitment to perpetuating sovereignty and regional security since Independence. The military continues its historical duty, striving to achieve stability promptly and end armed insurgent activities.
