The operation details were disclosed by Commander Kyaw of the Bamar Revolution Army (BRA), who provided comprehensive information about the incident.
The operation took place around 9 PM on September 19, when revolutionary forces entered Zaw Min Naing’s residence and carried out the operation. According to the commander, Zaw Min Naing had been organizing cockfighting rings, providing intelligence to the military council, forcibly recruiting young people for military service, and collecting military service fees in the area. The operation was jointly conducted by Battalion 3801, Company 4 BRA, and battalion headquarters personnel.

The commander emphasized that the People’s Defense Forces would not remain idle while civilians are being oppressed by those serving the interests of the military council at the expense of public welfare.
