April 13, 2025

In Launglon Township, Dawei District, junta forces have been launching indiscriminate artillery attacks on civilian areas, while also advancing on foot towards Min Yat village, according to local sources. Artillery shells fired from Dawei town have reportedly continued throughout the morning.

On April 10, clashes broke out near the Myanmar Customs Department in Kyatsarpyin Ward, Dawei town. Following the fighting, junta troops began mobilizing and moving towards Launglon Township.

At around 5:30 AM on April 11, troops were seen advancing toward Min Yat village. Between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM, the junta’s artillery unit stationed in Dawei reportedly fired at least seven mortar rounds toward areas near Wai Dee, Danitaw, Shin Gyi Eain, Inn Zout, and Ywa Haung Wa villages.

“They’re firing ahead of their advancing column to clear the route,” a resident explained. “Some shells also hit near Inn Zauk and Ywa Haung Wa.”

In addition, junta troops reportedly arrested a young man, Than Htaik Oo, in his 20s, from Ywa Haung Wa village. He was working in a rubber plantation near Min Yat when he was detained.

Local sources added that, in addition to artillery shelling from Dawei, the junta is also using high-end drones to drop bombs on villages. As a result, many residents are being forced to flee their homes in search of safety.
