The Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) announced on September 30 that the junta council began a counter-offensive on Lashio starting early September and continues to conduct airstrikes all over the city on a daily basis.
From the end of August till September 30, due to the junta council targeting civilian zones, three civilians died and around 40 were injured. Locals reported that the people who returned to Lashio had to leave the city again due to the consistent airstrikes of the junta council.
