Nattalin township internet and phone cut amid heavy bombardment, December 2025

DRAFT — needs an editor rewrite. Access Now STOP record: internet and phone lines cut in Nattalin township, Bago Region, amid heavy bombardment, confirmed active from Dec 9 through at least Dec 14, 2025. Previously presented jointly with the Paukkaung township shutdown (Feb 2025) as one "Bago Region" regional pattern; split into two events (maintainer research, 2026-07) since the two incidents are ten months apart, in different townships, with no evidence of simultaneous or continuous region-wide disruption — see 2025-02-bago-paukkaung-shutdown for the other constituent record.

Resolution note: No source confirms a resolution date. The STOP record's own "Dec 9 – at least Dec 14" phrasing is a confirmed-active window (a lower bound on duration), not an end date — no date_end is set here since Dec 14 marks only when the record was last confirmed active, not when the cutoff stopped. Split from the former grouped event 2025-bago-region-shutdowns (maintainer research, 2026-07): Nattalin (Dec 2025) and Paukkaung (Feb 2025) are ten months apart, in different townships, and most plausibly tied to distinct military operations rather than one continuous regional pattern — kept as two separate events per the maintainer's explicit scope decision (internal research notes). Stale-ongoing review (M2 patch, 2026-07, carried over from before the split): a short, localized, bombing-triggered cutoff — general web search found no reporting of a continuing or renewed shutdown in this specific township into 2026.
