The AA army continues to conduct offensives on the border between Ayeyarwady and Rakhine. It has currently captured some checkpoints on the main roads and is threatening the town of Pyin Taw, which is closest to Gwa. In addition, the rebels who retreated from the battle for Gwa have reached Ayeyarwady along the coast, where they have reached the Ayeyarwady region. The military council has sent troops from Yangon to reinforce the weak troops in Ayeyarwady. However, there are reports of desertions at the front lines.
Some people in the western towns of Ayeyarwady have begun to leave the cities where the war has spread. It is known that the military council has not allowed locals to dig bunkers in Pyin Taw and Ye Kyi. In case of major fighting, the military council is planning to use the locals as human shields.
