A spokesperson from the Myaing People’s Defense Force (PDF) has confirmed that six soldiers, including a camp commander, were killed in drone strikes targeting military positions at the Pyu Saw Htee camp in North Khanran village and the Myittha Dam in Gangaw Township, Magway Region. The initial attack began on March 4 at 9:20 AM when joint resistance forces launched drone strikes using Inaga bombs on the Pyu Saw Htee camp in North Khran village, resulting in casualties among soldiers and Pyu Saw Htee members.
Subsequent drone attacks were carried out between March 7 and 9 on military positions stationed at the Myittha Dam, resulting in the deaths of one camp commander, one soldier, and four Pyu Saw Htee members, totaling six casualties. Many other soldiers sustained severe injuries during these operations. On March 16, two soldiers stationed at the Myittha Dam defected to revolutionary forces and were captured along with an MA-11 rifle and some ammunition.
These operations were jointly conducted by the Myaing PDF, Gangaw Township Allied Forces, Gangaw Township PDF, and the Pauk/Myaing/Kamma drone units, with no casualties reported among resistance forces. On March 17, the military retaliated by conducting jet fighter airstrikes on villages near the Myittha Dam. The Myaing PDF spokesperson confirmed that the two captured soldiers are being detained in accordance with international standards. The resistance forces continue to maintain their offensive operations against military positions in the region while ensuring the humane treatment of captured personnel.
