Myanmar Junta Extends Post-Quake Truce Amid Reports of Breaches

Myanmar’s military, also known as the Tatmadaw, announced an extension of a ceasefire until the end of this month, though there have been multiple reports of continued air strikes and mortar attacks on rebel-held territories during the recent truce.

Junta chief Min Aung Hlaing’s office said in a statement the ceasefire extension is aimed at accelerating re­construction and recovery efforts in areas devastated by the March 28 earthquake, and at initiating durable and genuine peace.
