A military council guard was killed after being shot by a sniper while on watchtower duty in Kani Pyusawthi village, Myaing Township, Magway Region on the morning of March 19. The attack was carried out through coordination between local People’s Defense Forces including MPL Northern Zone Myaing-PDF, Manyinheikohtet PDF, Ko Gatone Township-4 PDF, Thyawta PDF, and Colleyo Eagle Brigade. The guard fell from the watchtower after being hit by sniper fire.
Following the attack, military council forces arrived in large numbers, leading to exchanges of fire with revolutionary forces. The resistance forces strategically withdrew without suffering any casualties, according to officials. While the People’s Defense Forces had to retreat due to the military council’s superior numbers after the successful sniper attack, their operation achieved its objective. The attacking force confirmed that all their members returned safely from the operation.
This attack is part of ongoing revolutionary activities within the Magway Region, where local People’s Defense Forces continue to monitor and respond to military council troop movements. The local resistance forces are conducting military operations in coordination with allied groups, working to maintain stability and security for civilians in the region. They remain committed to their mission of protecting local communities while continuing strategic operations against military council forces. The successful coordination between multiple PDF groups in this operation demonstrates the growing capabilities of resistance forces in the area.
