25 November 2025 —Myanmar military aircraft carried out a major resupply mission on 24 November, marking the third aerial drop of the month over Pyusawhti (pro-SSPC militia) controlled villages in Gangaw township, Magway Region.
The aircraft reportedly made around eight passes between 12:15 pm and 1:20 pm yesterday. An L410-E20 military transport aircraft from Magway Air Base flew for more than an hour over Hanthawaddy and Khin Yan villages, releasing multiple parachute-attached bundles believed to contain ammunition and medical supplies.
The operation follows earlier air-drops on 18 and 20 November, with residents estimating that more than 150 bundles have been dropped across the three missions combined.
“They wouldn’t be dropping food here. These villages already have plenty of rice and beans. It must be ammunition and medical supplies,” a local resident on condition of anonymity said to the Yaw Alinn Tann.
Hanthawaddy and Khin Yan villages are known strongholds of the Pyusawhti, (pro-SSPC militia) loosely organised militia groups that support the State Security and Peace Commission.
Military air activity has increased sharply in recent weeks as clashes have intensified across Gangaw and Kalay townships. – Reporting by Benjamin
