Narinjara News, 3 June,  2025

The military council has reportedly persisted in shelling with heavy artillery in Kyaukphyu Township of Rakhine state despite declaring a temporary ceasefire from June 1 to 30. 

A woman in Kyaukphyu stated, “The military council is shooting daily, even during the ceasefire. The police unit is also shooting. I would suggest it’s even greater. They’re launching additional shots from the Dhanyawaddy Navy Headquarters. Due to the heavy rain, they haven't used drones to fire yet. They shoot when the sun is warm."
