12 November 2025 – The Myanmar military air-dropped around 25 supply parcels containing rations and ammunition in Htilin township, Magway Region today, using a Y-8 military transport aircraft.

The aircraft, reportedly deployed from Meiktila Air Base, conducted aerial operations over Htilin township between 10 am and 11 am, making around nine separate drops. The first drop contained a single parcel, while subsequent rounds delivered 4 parcels each, for a total of 25 parcels.

Sources indicated that the supplies consisted of dried food rations and ammunition. The airdrop is believed to be part of a wider effort by the junta to reinforce its troops operating in the Yaw area.

In recent weeks, the Myanmar military has intensified its air operations in the region, carrying out repeated bombardments and aerial resupply missions. 

Local communities and resistance groups have been advised to remain vigilant amid the escalating air activity. – Reporting by Benjamin
