Myanmar’s regime in Naypyidaw has extended a temporary ceasefire to May 31 to support reconstruction efforts following a massive earthquake on March 28 that killed at least 3,700 people and devastated parts of the country, regime media reported on Wednesday.
The regime initially announced a ceasefire on April 2, days after the March earthquake, to support relief efforts, following similar moves by anti-regime armed resistance groups.
Military airstrikes and artillery attacks have continued in some parts of Myanmar despite the ceasefire announcement, according to the U.N.
