In a significant escalation of the conflict in Myanmar, revolutionary groups, including the Karen National Union and their allies, reportedly seized control of the town of Myawaddy early on April 11th. The seizure came as junta troops, led by General Soe Win, the junta's second-in-command, were regrouping for a counterattack. Despite initial reports of the town's fall, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, alongside the 3rd Army, stated that Myawaddy has not yet fallen. This statement was in response to reports from the Rachamanu Special Task Force indicating that revolutionary forces had overrun the last remaining army camp of the Myanmar junta in Myawaddy. In addition, it was reported that around 100 deserted Myanmar soldiers, some still armed, have taken positions near the Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge No. 2, although the bridge has since reopened for trade. The use of anti-regime drones to chase and attack military generals has been noted, marking a deepening crisis in the region. The situation in Myanmar, particularly in Rakhine state and other areas, remains precarious and deteriorating, according to the Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.
