According to statements from People’s Defense Forces (PDF), 102 members of the military council forces were killed across Myanmar on March 18. These casualties occurred during various battles across different states and regions, resulting from offensive operations conducted by local defense forces and revolutionary alliance groups. The death toll has been documented by respective regional defense forces, which also included records of military council members who fled after battles and those who were wounded.
However, it should be noted that independent journalists and human rights monitors have not been able to verify these casualty figures on the ground. The military council typically does not officially release information about casualties among their forces and tends to control information about ongoing conflicts. Therefore, statements from local People’s Defense Forces currently serve as the primary source of information regarding these casualties. The reported numbers are based on compilations of various PDF statements and communications, though the actual situation on the ground cannot be independently verified under current circumstances.
