According to statements from People’s Defense Forces (PDF), 66 military council troops were killed in various engagements across Myanmar on April 2. The reports come from multiple PDF units who encountered military council forces in different regions, resulting in confirmed casualties on the military council’s side. However, it should be noted that these reports cannot be independently verified on the ground due to current restrictions.
The military council continues to commit acts of violence against civilians while forcing people into military service and conducting military preparations. In response, People’s Defense Forces maintain constant surveillance of military council troop movements and take necessary actions to protect civilian lives and property. The PDF units systematically document and report military council casualties, with relevant units providing timely updates on engagement outcomes and confirmed losses.
This reporting is based on a compilation of battle reports, official statements, and communications from various People’s Defense Force units. Due to the current situation, journalists and independent media do not have free access to conflict areas, making it impossible to independently verify these casualty figures on the ground. This limitation in verification capability is important to note when considering the reported information.
