KNU seizes key junta position in Tanintharyi’s Palaw

June 1, 2026

The Karen National Union (KNU) claimed one of its armed wings, the Karen National Defense Organization (KNDO), and resistance allies seized a more than 20-year-old junta stronghold at Kyauk Lone Gyi Village, Palaw Township, Tanintharyi Region after 11 days of fighting on May 29.

Regime forces fled the base in June 2024 when KNU and allied resistance troops seized a similar base on the bank of the Tanintharyi River in nearby Tanintharyi Township. Later, over 80 regime forces from Light Infantry Battalion No. 433, returned to the Kyauk Lone Gyi base.

During the latest raid, the regime forces abandoned the base to flee the resistance attack.

While in India, regime boss drums up investment for son’s project

June 1, 2026

Myanmar’s coup leader-turned-president Min Aung Hlaing invited Indian entrepreneurs to invest in the Yatanarpon City Project operated by his son Aung Pyae Sone, at a Myanmar-India Trade and Investment Forum held at the Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi on Sunday as part of his trip to India, according to regime media.

He stated that the project is being developed on approximately 10,000 acres (4,000 hectares) of land in Pyin Oo Lwin Township, Mandalay Region, Central Myanmar. He added that this presents excellent opportunities for Indian entrepreneurs, who are already successful in the IT sector, to invest in IT and digital services.

He also noted that while implementation of the project began about 20 years ago to boost the IT sector, it had faced delays for various reasons. He extended the invitation to India, emphasizing that Myanmar still has a major need for IT development.
