Nay Pyi Taw, April 22, 2025 — The Myanmar military, also known as the Tatmadaw, has extended its temporary ceasefire until April 30, 2025, in an effort to support ongoing reconstruction and humanitarian efforts following recent earthquakes.

The Office of the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services issued the announcement on Tuesday, stating that the ceasefire, originally scheduled to end on April 22, will now remain in effect for an additional week.

According to the statement, the extension is aimed at facilitating rehabilitation in disaster-affected regions and fostering conditions favorable for peace and national stability. The Tatmadaw emphasized the importance of unity among all ethnic groups and communities in accelerating recovery and ensuring the well-being of citizens.

“The Tatmadaw aims to facilitate swifter recovery, uphold the welfare of the nation and its citizens, and create conditions conducive to lasting peace and stability” the military said in its statement.

However, the Tatmadaw also issued a warning to ethnic armed organizations (EAOs) and other groups, cautioning against activities that could undermine the ceasefire. Any acts of aggression, military mobilization, or territorial expansion would be met with defensive measures, the military warned, reiterating its commitment to civilian protection.

This marks the second ceasefire extension in recent weeks. The initial truce, covering April 2–22, was declared in response to the devastating impact of natural disasters across several regions of the country.
