According to statements from People’s Defense Forces (PDF), 57 members of the military council forces were killed in various clashes across Myanmar on March 6. The casualties were confirmed through official announcements from local defense forces who engaged in battles with military council troops across different regions and states. These confrontations occurred as resistance forces defended against offensive operations launched by the military council forces throughout the country.
The casualty reports are compiled daily based on official statements and communications from local defense forces. However, it should be noted that these figures cannot be independently verified on the ground by separate organizations. The ongoing conflicts stem from the military council’s continued violence against local civilians, including forced military recruitment and military preparations, which have prompted defensive actions from People’s Defense Forces to protect communities.
The military council’s offensive operations have forced local residents to flee their homes, with reports of houses being burned down and entire villages being destroyed. People’s Defense Forces continue to engage in defensive operations to protect civilians’ lives and property while resisting the military council’s attacks. The ongoing conflicts have resulted in civilian casualties and injuries, creating an urgent need for humanitarian assistance in affected areas. Local defense forces maintain their commitment to protecting civilian populations while responding to military council aggression that has displaced communities and destroyed civilian infrastructure.
