Reports that Home Affairs Minister Lt-Gen Yar Pyae and Border Affairs Minister Lt-Gen Tun Tun Naung swapped portfolios in what The Irrawaddy describes as a lateral consolidation rather than a promotion or demotion. Thet Thet Khine, chairwoman of the People's Pioneer Party and a former NLD lawmaker who had positioned herself as a regime-adjacent civilian face, was removed and replaced by former Vietnam ambassador Kyaw Soe Win. Yangon Region Command's chief Maj-Gen Zaw Hein was elevated to quartermaster general.
