On March 16, revolutionary forces targeted a military convoy consisting of two armored vehicles and two military trucks traveling from the Bagan Nyaung-U area toward Chauk town. The attack took place along the Bagan Nyaung-U-Chauk road section.
In the first attack, one military council soldier was killed and four others were injured, while the resistance forces successfully retreated without any casualties.
