Myanmar junta releases 93 child soldiers after UN criticism. Myanmar's military and the armed groups affiliated to it last year recruited 467 boys and 15 girls, including over 370 children used in combat roles. Ruling junta said on Friday (July 4, 2025) already discharged 93 minors from military service, responding to a UN report last month accusing it and its allies of recruiting over 400 children, many in combat roles. A rare admission published in mouthpiece newspaper, the junta conducted verification process last year resulted in discharge of 93 verified minors, who were also provided with financial assistance. To date, only 18 suspected minor cases remain pending verification," a govt-run committee said in statement published in Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper.
