According to a representative from the Rangoon Urban Column, the attack resulted in injuries to several security personnel who were on guard duty. The incident occurred at 8:00 PM on March 19, and one person who sustained severe injuries was immediately transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.
A local resident from Insein Township reported witnessing intense security checks being conducted by military and police forces on Aung Mingalar Don Road around 8:30 PM. The security forces were thoroughly inspecting military vehicles, police vehicles, private cars, and taxis. These security checks continued until approximately 9:00 PM, according to the resident’s detailed account of the situation. The heightened security measures appeared to be a direct response to the attack on the CID office.
The Rangoon Urban Column has emphasized the crucial need for public cooperation in providing ground information to enhance their urban operations. They have specifically requested citizens to contact them through their Telegram channel @RUC_info to share any relevant information about ground situations. This attack is considered part of the ongoing people’s revolution against the military dictatorship, representing civilian resistance against the military regime’s oppression, according to revolutionary activists. The incident highlights the continuing struggle between civilian resistance forces and the military authorities in Myanmar’s urban areas.
