The Yangon Army (YA) and Western District People’s Defense Force jointly carried out an attack using hand grenades on the military council’s administrative office in Ward 141, Dagon Myothit (South) Township, Yangon Region. According to a spokesperson from the Yangon Army who spoke to Yangon Modern News Agency, the attack took place at 10:01 PM on March 8. The operation was conducted in response to continuous oppression of local residents by the ward administrator and his associates.
The Yangon Army spokesperson indicated that the ward administrator and his subordinates were likely casualties in the attack. They further stated that such operations would continue until the complete fall of the military dictatorship. The administrative mechanisms under the military council have been targeted by People’s Defense Forces due to their activities including extorting money from local residents, intimidation, and acting as informants for the military council.
People’s Defense Forces are systematically planning and executing operations to dismantle the military council’s administrative mechanisms and establish people’s authority in Dagon Myothit (South) Township. The resistance forces have announced their commitment to intensifying revolutionary activities to prevent civilians from continuing to live under the military council’s violent administration and to establish a genuine democratic system. These operations are part of a broader strategy to systematically target military council infrastructure while protecting civilian interests and working toward democratic transformation in Myanmar.
