Aung San Suu Kyi Moved to House Arrest Amid Escalating Conflict in Myanmar

The move is seen as a strategic shift by the junta, potentially using Suu Kyi as a bargaining chip while facing mounting military defeats.

Myanmar's military junta has relocated Aung San Suu Kyi to house arrest, citing extreme heat and health concerns.
The relocation comes as the junta faces significant losses against rebel forces, controlling large portions of the country.
Speculation arises that Suu Kyi could be used to facilitate negotiations or as a political tool amidst the ongoing conflict.
Rebel attacks have intensified, including drone strikes on the capital, Naypyitaw, signaling growing opposition strength.
Despite health concerns and international outcry, the junta denies any ill health of Suu Kyi, maintaining she has received adequate medical care.
