A battle erupted between the military council forces and revolutionary groups along the Thaung Gyi-Leiktho road section at the border of Bago Region and Karen State. According to a senior official from the Warazein Force, the clash occurred on the evening of May 28, resulting in casualties on the military council’s side. The confrontation took place in the area between Thanmyar Taung, Kawpat Garden, and Kambala Garden when revolutionary forces intercepted military council troops attempting to advance through the area.
The battle involved a joint operation between the Warazein Force and the Northern Thandaung People’s Defense Force, lasting approximately 30 minutes with both sides exchanging heavy and small arms fire. The revolutionary forces successfully withdrew from the engagement without suffering any casualties. While the exact number of casualties on the military council’s side could not be immediately confirmed, officials stated that investigations were ongoing to determine the extent of their losses. The military council forces responded to the attack with both heavy weapons and small arms during the confrontation.
Revolutionary forces in this region maintain close surveillance of military council troop movements and conduct necessary operations to ensure the security of local civilians. The Thaung Gyi-Leiktho road section is considered a strategically important route, making it a frequent site of confrontations between both sides. Revolutionary forces in the area are actively working to disrupt the military council’s supply and ammunition transportation routes. The successful interception operation was carried out through coordination between the Warazein Force and the Northern Thandaung People’s Defense Force, demonstrating the effectiveness of their joint operations in the region.
