According to statements from People’s Defense Forces (PDF), 29 military council troops were killed in various clashes across Myanmar on May 13. The casualties were confirmed through reports from multiple PDF units and revolutionary alliance groups operating in different regions of the country. However, the military council has not officially acknowledged or released any statements regarding their casualties from these engagements.
Based on PDF reports, the clashes primarily occurred in the northern, eastern, and western regions of the country. While military council forces have been conducting offensive operations against local civilian populations, they suffered casualties due to defensive actions by People’s Defense Forces. News sources note that the exact casualty figures cannot be independently verified as direct access to the conflict areas is not possible for field verification. The reported numbers are based on consolidated information from various defense force statements and communications.
These ongoing clashes and casualties continue throughout the country as military council forces persist in their operations against civilian populations. The People’s Defense Forces maintain their defensive operations to protect local civilians’ safety and property from military council aggression. The resistance forces emphasize that their actions are necessary to defend local communities from the military council’s offensive operations that have resulted in civilian displacement and casualties across the country.
