Summary on 30 August

• Following great losses in Rakhine State, the junta army has been deliberately opening fire on civilian targets. Consequently, there have been casualties among the public. As the AA stated that they would take action against the junta armed forces, fighting in the area might get heavier.
• There was heavy fighting in upcountry areas. The same was true for other states like Karenni, Kayin, Chin and Rakhine states. As the military junta suffered terrible losses in upcountry areas in recent days, they were fighting both on air and on the ground. Consequently, the number of displaced people might continue to rise and there might be an emergency need for food.
