The entire military column was reportedly destroyed in the battle, with resistance forces seizing weapons and ammunition alongside the bodies of the fallen soldiers.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that the military council has awarded first-level technical excellence awards to Colonel Myat Min Oo, who had previously helped fabricate claims of electoral fraud in the 2020 general election to justify the military’s seizure of power. The awards were personally presented by military council leader Min Aung Hlaing.
