Regime extends its ceasefire until the end of June

The regime in Naypyidaw extended its temporary ceasefire on

Sunday until June 30. It stated that it would retaliate only if ethnic armed organizations, or other armed groups, destroy or attack communication routes and military outposts, cause harm or destruction to the lives and property of citizens, recruit or mobilize forces that could undermine peace, or for territorial expansion. 

“The [regime] is tirelessly carrying out reconstruction and rehabilitation measures for quake-affected government offices and departments, public houses and road transportation facilities with the assistance of the international communities,” regime media reported on June 1. Naypyidaw announced its post-quake ceasefire April 2-30 which it renewed May 6-31 after letting the first five days of the month elapse.
