In Myanmar, the three-year conflict against the ruling junta has intensified, with significant setbacks for the military regime. Rebel forces have made considerable gains, capturing key bases and raising their flags, signaling a shift in control. The psychological impact on the junta's generals has been profound, exacerbated by drone attacks on their headquarters in Naypyitaw and escalating battlefield losses.
