A spokesperson from the Myaing People’s Defense Force has confirmed that weapons and ammunition were seized from military council forces based in Industrial Zone 2 of Myaing Township, Magway Region. On April 9 at approximately 7:15 AM, when about 10 military council soldiers ventured out from Industrial Zone 2 to search for supplies, People’s Defense Force members launched an attack, resulting in the death of one military council soldier and the seizure of one MA-3 rifle, one hand grenade, and other ammunition. The offensive operation was jointly carried out by the Myaing PDF, Dharmingyi Force, Myaing United Alliance, Wolf Guerrilla Force, Ko Musoe, Ko Steel, and Ko Kyin forces.
Simultaneously, in Bago Region’s Waw and Shwegyin Townships, revolutionary forces conducted sniper attacks against military council troops, resulting in one death and two injuries among the military council forces, according to a representative from the Taungnyoe Column. On April 7 at around 7:25 AM, resistance forces launched a sniper attack on military council soldiers in Letpan village of Waw Township, wounding two soldiers.
