A reported defection of a Pyu Saw Htee member to the People's Defense Force in Shwebo township, Sagaing region, Myanmar on April 1, 2025, involving transfer of small arms and ammunition. This low-severity strategic development reflects ongoing internal dynamics within Myanmar's fragmented conflict landscape.
