Myanmar's President Min Aung Hlaing extended martial law for an additional 90 days across 55 townships.
Administrative and executive powers under the decree were transferred to Gen Ye Win Oo, commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
This marks another extension of martial law, though the number of designated townships was slightly reduced from 58 to 55.
The affected townships are primarily regions under the control or occupation of various ethnic armed groups and resistance forces.
