A military council supply convoy that has been stranded for over two months on the Pakokku-Pauk road in Magway Region has suffered significant losses, with at least three vehicles destroyed and numerous casualties following multiple mine attacks by resistance forces along the route, according to local resistance sources. The convoy, which departed from Military Division 101 in Pakokku in late June, consists of nearly 1,000 troops led by a deputy division commander and has faced systematic attacks from resistance forces. During these attacks, several military vehicles were damaged by mines, with some completely destroyed and abandoned by the roadside while others had to be towed away.
The military council has been conducting daily airstrikes using Y-12 aircraft, jet fighters, and armed helicopters to protect their supply convoy. These attacks have forced thousands of civilians from 17 villages along the route to flee to safer areas. Local residents report widespread destruction of homes and agricultural lands due to these military operations. Currently, the supply convoy has reached the vicinity of the Yeipya Bridge on the Pakokku-Pauk road and is conducting mine-clearing operations to continue their journey.
Resistance forces are expected to release official statements regarding the exact number of military council casualties resulting from their attacks. While the military council is attempting to safely move their supply convoy, they continue to face significant challenges due to well-planned resistance attacks. Despite being on the move for over two months, the convoy has yet to reach its intended destination, according to local sources who confirmed these developments. The prolonged presence of the military convoy and ongoing conflict has severely disrupted civilian life in the region, with local communities bearing the brunt of the military council’s aggressive operations and retaliatory measures.
