According to statements from People’s Defense Forces (PDF), 19 members of the military council forces were killed in various confrontations across Myanmar on March 21. These casualties were reported from different regions and states, based on documentation by local resistance forces. The reported deaths occurred during direct engagements with military council troops, mine explosions, and other combat operations throughout the country.
The casualty figures were compiled from various PDF statements and reports from different regions. However, it should be noted that these numbers cannot be independently verified by free journalists or organizations due to restricted access to military-controlled territories. The current situation makes it difficult to confirm exact casualty figures, as the military council maintains strict control over information flow in areas under their administration. The resistance forces continue to monitor military council movements and respond as necessary to protect civilian populations.
The ongoing conflicts are a direct result of the military council’s continued violence against civilians, including forced military recruitment and mandatory military training programs imposed on the public. The People’s Defense Forces emphasize that their operations are conducted in response to the military council’s oppression of civilians. The resistance forces maintain their commitment to protecting civilian populations while documenting military casualties and operations across the country. These confrontations reflect the broader struggle between civilian defense forces and the military council, which continues to commit human rights violations against the Myanmar people.
