Revolutionary forces successfully attacked a military outpost along the old Yangon-Mandalay highway in Bago Region’s Taungoo District, resulting in five military casualties and the seizure of multiple weapons, according to resistance sources. The operation took place on March 9 at 4:30 AM, targeting a military outpost near Kyauktaing village, situated between Kywepe and Nyaungchaiktauk towns. The attack was carried out through a coordinated effort of multiple resistance groups, including the People’s Defense Force Operation Area 2, Strategy 23, Battalion 3502, and the Oaktwin PDF combat unit.
During the engagement, while one resistance fighter was killed in action, the operation resulted in significant gains for the revolutionary forces. The seized military equipment included two MA-1 rifles, two G3 rifles, two MA-11 rifles, twelve ammunition magazines, 200 rounds of G3 ammunition, and 200 rounds of 5.56 ammunition. The successful operation demonstrates the growing capabilities of resistance forces in conducting coordinated attacks against military installations in strategically important locations.
The operation’s success was confirmed by People’s Defense Force Operation Area 2 Commander Comrade Tin Oo. The location of this military outpost along the major Yangon-Mandalay route made it a strategically significant target, and its neutralization represents an important achievement for the revolutionary forces in their ongoing struggle against the military regime. The successful operation has not only resulted in the acquisition of valuable military equipment but also demonstrated the resistance forces’ ability to conduct effective operations against military positions along key transportation routes.
