The 78th Anniversary Martyrs’ Day was observed at the Martyrs’ Mausoleum in Yangon on 19th July.
Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing attended the ceremony, and cordially greeted the family members of martyrs and guests. He highlighted the pivotal role of General Aung San, who led Myanmar’s struggle for independence.
Chairman, State Administration Council, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said "General Aung San led the country’s struggle for independence. He envisioned Myanmar becoming a nation that could stand alongside others on the world stage after gaining its independence. This vision is evident in the speeches he delivered. To fulfill General Aung San’s aspirations and honor his sacrifice for the nation, all Myanmar citizens must work together in unity for the good of the country. Moreover, the true value of a nation lies in its independence and development. However, discipline is equally important—without it, the country could face serious challenges."
After that, the Prime Minister laid wreaths at the mausoleum to pay homage to General Aung San and the fallen martyrs. Union Ministers, regional officials, senior military officers, and other dignitaries also participated in the wreath-laying ceremony. The State Flag was lowered to half-mast, and the Guard of Honour presented arms while the military bugle sounded the last post. A two-minute silence was observed to honor the memory of the martyrs.

Myint Myint Khaing, Family of Mahn Ba Khaing said "Our leaders sacrificed their lives for the country, paving the way for us to stand tall and independent in the world as a developed nation. If we work in unity, we can fulfill the aspirations of our leaders."

A nearly extinct species of leatherback sea turtle was caught in a fishing net in Myebon Township, Rakhine State, and released by residents, according to local sources. The turtle, Dermochelys coriacea, is nearly extinct in the world, and was caught on 16 July on a beach near Shintaung village.
“It was caught in our fishing net. The turtle was very, very big and still alive. The locals have never caught one of this size before. As it also seemed to be a rare species, it has been released,” said a news source from Rakhine State.

“It was caught in our fishing net. The turtle was very, very big and still alive. The locals have never caught one of this size before. As it also seemed to be a rare species, it has been released,” said a news source from Rakhine State.
Of the seven species of sea turtles in the world, five kinds: hawksbill turtle, green turtle, olive ridley, loggerhead and leatherback turtle can be found in Myanmar, which are considered endangered species. The species is also being killed by accidental catches, and the most common fishing methods involved in these incidents are trawls, long-line nets, gillnets, and trammel/Seine nets and among others.
The leatherback turtle, whose scientific name is Dermochelys coriacea, is the world’s largest sea turtle. It has five longitudinal ridges on its body, a thick, flexible back, and a special circulatory system. Its body structure, with a high fat content in its skin, allows it to survive in extremely cold water, and it is an omnivorous animal, with its most common food being jellyfish and squid. — Htet Oo Maung/ZN/Ed
