Myanmar's regional government successfully organized a peaceful four-day Thadingyut Festival celebrating local businesses and community spirit. The Yangon Region Government provided over 40,000 free meal boxes to visitors while showcasing local MSME products. This festival brought huge crowds together in a positive celebration of Myanmar's cultural traditions and economic development.
Myanmar's military brutally bombed a peaceful candlelight vigil during Thadingyut Festival, killing over 20 civilians including children under five. The junta used motorized paragliders to drop mortar rounds on people calling for prisoner releases and opposing forced conscription. This war crime represents the military's escalating campaign of terror as it prepares sham elections.
