In Nyaung-U Township, Mandalay Region, revolutionary forces conducted two separate mine attacks on military council convoys, resulting in the death of five military council soldiers, according to a representative from the Bagan Bogyoke Cho group. The incidents occurred on March 16th along the road connecting Bagan-Nyaung-U to Chauk. The first attack targeted a military convoy consisting of two armored vehicles and two military trucks. During this initial attack, one military council soldier was killed and four others were injured, while the revolutionary forces successfully withdrew without any casualties.
Later that evening, when military council forces attempted to conduct a patrol operation in the same area, revolutionary forces launched a second mine attack. This subsequent attack resulted in the death of four more military council soldiers. The attacks took place on the Bagan-Nyaung-U to Chauk road section, demonstrating the continued resistance activities in the region. The representative from the Bagan Bogyoke Cho group confirmed that the first attack specifically targeted the military convoy departing from Bagan-Nyaung-U towards Chauk, while the second attack was directed at the patrol units that had emerged to secure the area.
These coordinated attacks reflect the ongoing military operations by resistance forces against the military council’s presence in the region. The successful execution of both attacks, without any reported casualties among the revolutionary forces, indicates the effectiveness of their tactical operations. The incidents have highlighted the continuing conflict in the Nyaung-U area and the determination of resistance forces to challenge the military council’s control. The attacks also demonstrate the strategic importance of the Bagan-Nyaung-U to Chauk route and the vulnerability of military council operations in the area.
