Amnesty International reports that prominent Rohingya leader Mohib Ullah was assassinated by unidentified gunmen in a refugee camp in Cox's Bazaar, Bangladesh. According to the AI, drug cartels operating in the refugee camps have killed people and held hostages. The NUG sent a letter in honour of the 72nd National Day of the People's Republic of China on 1 October. The statement said “the NUG stands ready to partner with China to advance this friendship.”

A few hours after the junta’s spokesperson challenged the NUG’s leaders to come out of hiding at the press conference, a bomb exploded at the office of the Directorate of Procurement of the Commander-in-Chief of Defense Services (Army), becoming the first-ever attack on a military facility in Naypyidaw. The Naypyidaw PDF announced that the attack was carried out by them and another revolutionary group. A leaked military letter stated that no one was injured or killed in the blast. On 29 September, Naypyidaw PDF also attacked a military truck in Pyinmana, Naypyidaw.
