According to statements and reports from People’s Defense Forces across Myanmar, 54 members of the military council forces were killed in various engagements on September 2. The People’s Defense Forces from different regions have documented and reported combat operations and military activities within their respective territories. These reports include detailed information about battle locations, timing, and casualty figures from various regions across the country. The compiled reports provide specific details about encounters between resistance forces and military council troops, leading to these reported casualties.
However, it is important to note a crucial caveat regarding these reported military council casualties. This information is based solely on statements and claims made by People’s Defense Forces, and the actual casualties have not been independently verified by journalists or field observers. The challenging security situation in conflict zones makes it difficult for independent verification of these casualty figures. Access to many of these areas remains restricted, preventing thorough on-the-ground confirmation of the reported deaths.
The process of collecting and reporting these military casualty figures involves systematic compilation of statements from various defense forces across different regions. In the interest of transparency in sharing such information, it is explicitly acknowledged that these reported figures cannot yet be independently confirmed against actual ground conditions. Media outlets must exercise particular care and responsibility when reporting such information, maintaining transparency about the nature and limitations of the source data. This approach ensures that while important information is shared with the public, the constraints on verification are clearly communicated.
