According to statements from People’s Defense Forces (PDF), 48 members of the military council forces were killed in various clashes across Myanmar on April 7. This information has been compiled from battle reports and statements issued by various People’s Defense Forces operating in different states and regions across the country. Ongoing confrontations between military council troops and People’s Defense Forces continue to occur in various locations, with intense fighting reported between both sides.
However, it should be noted that these reported casualty figures cannot be independently verified on the ground due to current circumstances. The ongoing conflicts throughout the country have resulted in civilian casualties, injuries, and forced displacement of local populations from their homes. Reports from local residents indicate that military council forces continue to conduct airstrikes and heavy artillery attacks in various regions. The situation has created significant humanitarian challenges for communities in conflict-affected areas.
People’s Defense Forces are actively defending their territories against military council offensive operations while maintaining close surveillance of military council troop movements. They are also engaged in providing assistance to civilians injured in the conflicts and working to support internally displaced people with necessary aid. The ongoing military operations by the council forces have led to widespread displacement and humanitarian concerns across multiple regions of the country, with local defense forces attempting to protect civilian populations while engaging in defensive operations against military council forces.
