Intense fighting has broken out in the Bago Yoma region of Taungoo Township, Bago Division, with the terrorist military forces deploying helicopters in their attacks, according to local residents. The clashes on June 23 have seen an escalation in aerial assaults by the military forces. Local residents report continuous sounds of heavy artillery and gunfire, forcing them to prepare for evacuation. Reports indicate significant casualties on the military side during these confrontations.
Local witnesses have observed approximately three military helicopters operating from the Taungoo airbase, suggesting an intensification of aerial warfare tactics by the terrorist military forces. While the Taungoo-based air force previously did not maintain helicopter units, they have recently begun conducting aerial operations. Revolutionary forces have been repeatedly targeting the Taungoo airbase with rocket attacks in response to these military operations.
The ongoing conflicts in the Bago Yoma region have severely disrupted civilian daily life, with the military’s heavy artillery attacks causing an increase in internally displaced persons. As the fighting intensifies, the terrorist military’s increased reliance on aerial attacks has sparked growing concern among local residents. Revolutionary forces continue to resist and counter the military’s offensive operations. The escalating situation has created a humanitarian crisis in the region, with civilians caught in the crossfire of the military’s aggressive campaign against resistance forces.
