The Myanmar Tatmadaw declared a ceasefire from April 2 to 22 to allow for humanitarian assistance to those affected by the earthquake, and the Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Defense Services announced today that the ceasefire has been extended.

The Myanmar Tatmadaw has extended the ceasefire until April 30. The Tatmadaw has announced the extension of the temporary ceasefire period from 23 to 30 April 2025 to enable the government to accelerate reconstruction and rehabilitation work in the earthquake-affected areas, to more quickly implement the interests of the state and all citizens, and to establish lasting and genuine peace.

During the period of the temporary ceasefire, ethnic armed groups and other armed groups are prohibited from gathering, organizing, or expanding their territory in a way that would disrupt and damage communication routes used by the public, harm the lives and property of the public, or damage the bases of security forces carrying out security and law enforcement duties. If the groups violate the prohibitions, the Tatmadaw will take necessary countermeasures to protect the public, said in the statement.
