Residents of Naungmon (Nogmung) Town in Putao District, northern Kachin State have become concerned after they were informed that people from the town would be conscripted.
On 7 February 2025, the junta-appointed township administration officer of Naungmon Town, the administrative centre of Naungmon Township, gathered residents together at a school in the town’s Ward 5 and told them that men of conscription age from the town would have to serve in the army.
