A spokesperson from the Myaing People’s Defense Force has confirmed that six soldiers, including a camp commander, were killed in drone attacks on military positions at the Pyu Saw Htee camp in North Khanran village and Myittha Dam in Gangaw Township, Magway Region. The initial attack began on March 4 at 9:20 AM when joint People’s Defense Forces launched drone strikes using Inaga bombs on the Pyu Saw Htee camp in North Khran village, resulting in casualties among soldiers and Pyu Saw Htee members.
Subsequent drone attacks were carried out between March 7 and 9 on military forces stationed at the Myittha Dam, resulting in the deaths of six personnel, including a camp commander, one soldier, and four Pyu Saw Htee members. Many others sustained severe injuries in these attacks. On March 16, two soldiers stationed at the Myittha Dam defected to revolutionary forces and were captured along with an MA-11 rifle and some ammunition.
These operations were jointly conducted by the Myaing PDF, Gangaw Township Allied Forces, Gangaw Township PDF, and the Pauk/Myaing/Kamma drone units, with no casualties reported among the resistance forces. On March 17, the military retaliated by conducting jet fighter airstrikes on villages near the Myittha Dam, causing fear and concern among local residents. These aerial attacks by the military have created significant anxiety among the civilian population in the area.
