Revolutionary forces have successfully captured a temporary military camp established by the military council at Hatkansint Mountain in the eastern region of Dawei Township, Tanintharyi Region, according to local military sources. The intense fighting began on the evening of September 14 when revolutionary forces engaged with military council troops who had stationed over 100 personnel at the monastery on Hatkansint Mountain near Pakari village.
The battles continued through September 15, resulting in heavy casualties for the military council forces, which ultimately led to their withdrawal from the position, allowing revolutionary forces to take control of the area. However, following the capture, the military council responded with continuous airstrikes using two aircraft, causing injuries to civilians trapped in the conflict zone and destroying monastery buildings. The situation remains tense as military council troops maintain a significant presence at the Pakari village police station, with reinforcements arriving from Dawei city.
The ongoing conflict has seen military council forces transporting their dead and wounded to Dawei city using trucks. Local residents are living in fear due to the continued airstrikes and have been forced to relocate to safer areas. The military situation in the region remains volatile with the presence of military council troops in the police station and the continuous arrival of reinforcements, indicating that the fighting is likely to persist in the area. The local population continues to face significant challenges and security risks as the conflict between revolutionary forces and the military council intensifies in the region.
