In Myanmar, the resistance's push into the country's interior will further destabilize the business environment and threaten the military government's long-term survival, but the military's ability to hold out in well-defended positions means its collapse remains unlikely for the foreseeable future. In recent weeks, rebel forces have made further territorial gains in Myanmar and carried out a string of notable attacks. Most significantly, armed anti-junta resistance groups launched airstrikes Sept. 3 on several locations in Mandalay, Myanmar, the country's second-largest city. Accounts of what transpired conflict, but according to the most commonly reported series of events, rockets hit army positions inside the Mandalay Palace compound, which hosts the Central Military Command of the governing junta (known as the Tatmadaw), and nearby structures, causing minor damage and wounding one civilian.
