On February 25 at around 7:00 AM, military council forces arrived at Ma Kyee Sin village in Tanaung Taik area of Salin Township from Seikphyu, using five large military trucks and two smaller vehicles. They were conducting inspections of electrical poles connected to Power Plant 21 when revolutionary forces launched their attack at approximately 8:30 AM. The offensive was led by Salin PDF Zone-3 along with other allied resistance groups.
The resistance forces employed heavy weapons and drones in their attacks, along with strategic ambushes using landmines.
