Intense fighting is ongoing in Salin Township, Magway Region, between military council forces and revolutionary forces. On March 16, in the afternoon, the Bamar Army intercepted and attacked an armored military vehicle traveling from Salin to Sinphyukyun town, resulting in one soldier’s death. During the attack, one soldier was fatally shot in the head, another sustained injuries to his arm, and several other soldiers were wounded in the engagement.
The military council has been increasing its presence in Salin Township, deploying tanks, armored vehicles, Mi-35 helicopters, naval vessels on the river, and infantry troops as part of their military operations. Due to increasing casualties on the military council’s side, they have been attempting to reinforce their numbers. Revolutionary forces continue to launch daily attacks against military council columns. The Bamar Army’s Battalion 707 is closely monitoring military council movements in Salin Township and responding with tactical operations as necessary. Reports from local residents indicate that the military council continues to oppress civilians and force them into military service as they attempt to expand their military presence in the region.
The military council’s operations in the area involve combined forces including ground troops, air support, and naval vessels. The recent escalation in military activities has led to increased confrontations with resistance forces, who are maintaining constant pressure on military council positions. The situation in Salin Township remains tense as the military council continues to deploy reinforcements while facing persistent resistance from revolutionary forces who are defending local communities from military aggression and forced conscription practices.
