Myanmar Junta Retakes Indaw After Nine Days of Fighting, Civilian Plight Deepens

The town of Indaw in northern Sagaing Region, Myanmar, was retaken by junta forces on April 30 after nine days of intense fighting. While the regime displayed images asserting control, resistance forces in the area remain active. Civilians are forced to flee, intensifying fears of a deepening humanitarian crisis. Sagaing Region remains a critical frontline in the conflict between the junta and pro-democracy forces, and the recapture of Indaw underscores the regime's ongoing offensive.
