The Myanmar junta government claims to have regained control of the 275th military command but not complete control of Myawaddy. Refugees have been sent back from Thailand as military and rebels regroup. Armed soldiers loyal to a warlord patrol Myawaddy amid clashes between junta troops and rebels. The junta faces challenges, with ASEAN nations showing shifting views on its longevity. Myanmar refugees face a dire situation, caught between civil war and inadequate aid. The military junta is losing ground to rebel forces, who are pushing for democratic change.
