The Yangon Army (YA) and Western District People’s Defense Force jointly carried out an attack using hand grenades on the military council-controlled ward administration office in Ward 141 of Dagon Myothit (South) Township, Yangon Region. According to a Yangon Army official who confirmed the incident to Yangon Modern News Agency, the attack took place at 10:01 PM on March 8. The operation was conducted in response to continuous oppression of local residents by the ward administrator and his associates.
The Yangon Army spokesperson stated that the ward administrator and his associates were likely casualties in the attack. They further declared that they would continue targeting important military council assets until the fall of the military dictatorship. The resistance forces have been actively targeting the military council’s administrative mechanisms due to their involvement in oppressing civilians, extorting money, and making threats against local residents.
People’s Defense Forces have been frequently attacking military council administrative targets in Dagon Myothit (South) Township, aiming to disrupt the junta’s administrative system. The resistance forces continue to fight on behalf of the people as the military council perpetrates violence, unlawful killings, and arbitrary arrests against civilians. The attacks on military council administration offices are part of the broader resistance movement against the military dictatorship’s oppressive rule over the civilian population.
