An official from the Myinyan District OneMore Battalion of the People's Defense Forces reported that two junta military members were killed in an attack on their camp in Kyauk Kone Village, Myinyan Township, Mandalay Region, on January 11, 2026, according to a statement posted on X. This development emerged over the past two hours amid Myanmar's ongoing civil war, following the death of an Arakan Army major in earlier clashes between 6:45 PM and 9:45 PM UTC on the same day, as detailed by Myanmar Civil War News. The Myinyan attack underscores continued resistance operations against junta forces. The military junta held the second phase of elections today in areas including Hpapun Township, where Al Jazeera reported almost no remaining citizens available to vote, based on on-the-ground observations from weeks prior shared in recent coverage. Resistance groups announced training milestones during this period, with the Ta'ang National Liberation Army holding a graduation ceremony for over 100 graduates of their fifth batch of Ta'ang Army Officer Training, according to a Facebook post. Separately, the United Wa State Army's Mongpauk '913' unit conducted a military graduation event earlier this month, as noted in social media links. Soldiers from the Taungoo People's Defense Force inspected a captured junta vest equipped with ineffective metal sheets instead of proper armor plates, highlighting that such gear is not standard issue for junta troops, per an X post. A Wa News Land chart documented the United Wa State Army and United Wa State Party transferring 533 Chinese online fraud suspects to China throughout 2025.
