The attack took place at 4:30 AM on March 9, targeting a military outpost near Kyauktaing village, situated between Kywepe and Nyaungchaiktauk towns along the Yangon-Mandalay highway.
The operation was carried out through a coordinated effort involving multiple resistance groups, including the People’s Defense Force (PDF) Operation Area 2, Strategy 23, Battalion 3502, and the Oaktwin PDF combat unit. During the engagement, while one resistance fighter was killed in action, the operation resulted in significant acquisitions of military equipment. The seized weapons inventory included two MA-1 rifles, two G3 rifles, two MA-11 rifles, twelve ammunition magazines, 200 rounds of G3 ammunition, and 200 rounds of 5.56mm ammunition.
The success of the operation was confirmed by Comrade Tin Oo, the commander of PDF Operation Area 2. This attack represents part of ongoing efforts to control military junta activities in the region and is aimed at protecting the security and rights of local civilians. The operation demonstrates the continued resistance against the military forces that have been oppressing civilian populations throughout the country.
