Southeast Asian foreign ministers have called for an immediate cessation of violence in the border areas of Myanmar, particularly near the Thai border, where intense clashes have resumed. The Myanmar regime is using Russian aircraft, including MiG-29 jets and Mi-35 helicopter gunships, to bomb territories they've lost control over. Rebels are specifically targeting stranded junta troops. This escalation has led to concerns over the wellbeing of civilians, with ASEAN urging for a halt to the hostilities. The UN, through Volker Turk, has highlighted the grave threat to civilians in Rakhine State and called for international action to prevent further persecution of the Rohingya community.
