According to statements and reports from People’s Defense Forces (PDF), nine members of the military council forces were killed in various engagements across Myanmar on March 23. This information has been compiled from multiple announcements and statements made by local defense forces operating in different regions of the country. However, it should be noted that these casualty figures cannot be independently verified on the ground by journalists or independent organizations due to access restrictions and security concerns.
The PDF statements indicate that military council forces continue to commit acts of violence against local civilians and are conducting forced recruitment campaigns to bolster their ranks. Reports also detail military council troops raiding villages, looting civilian property, and engaging in acts of arson and destruction. These ongoing violations against civilians have prompted defensive actions from resistance forces who are working to protect local communities. The military council’s oppressive tactics have created a humanitarian crisis, with many civilians forced to flee their homes and seek refuge in safer areas.
The daily compilation and reporting of these engagement statistics aims to keep the public informed about the ongoing situation across the country. Special attention is being paid to the security and humanitarian needs of internally displaced persons who are struggling with basic necessities due to the conflict. The reports emphasize that civilians continue to face severe hardships under the military council’s oppression, and international assistance is urgently needed to address the growing humanitarian crisis. The situation highlights the continued resistance of the Myanmar people against military rule and their struggle for democratic rights and basic security.
