The Thaung Tha People’s Defense Force has confirmed that an attack on a military security bunker at a bank in Thaung Tha city, Mandalay Region, resulted in the death of one police officer. The incident occurred on July 18 at approximately 2:30 PM when revolutionary forces launched a targeted hand grenade attack on the security post near the clock tower at the bank in Thaung Tha city.
According to the statement released by the Thaung Tha PDF, the attack resulted in one police officer being killed and two others sustaining severe injuries. The revolutionary forces were able to successfully withdraw from the area without suffering any casualties.

The attack was carefully planned and executed with specific objectives against the military council’s financial installations.
Revolutionary forces in the Thaung Tha region have been systematically targeting the military council’s economic and administrative infrastructure while taking special precautions to avoid civilian casualties. Local sources indicate that the military council may respond to such attacks by increasing security measures in the area. The operation demonstrates the continuing resistance against the military council’s presence in the region, particularly targeting their economic assets and security installations. The incident has highlighted the ongoing conflict between revolutionary forces and the military council in the Thaung Tha area, with both sides maintaining their respective positions in the region.
