Revolutionary forces successfully launched attacks on military council positions at the police station and administrative office in Salingyi town, Sagaing Region, using heavy weapons, as confirmed by the leader of the Chindwin Dynamite People’s Defense Force. The attack, which occurred around 10 AM on March 7, targeted approximately 80 military council troops using 60mm and 80mm heavy weapons. The coordinated assault was carried out by multiple resistance groups including the Chindwin Dynamite group, Yinmabin District Battalion, Red Wing Special Guerrilla Force, and other revolutionary units.
While the military council forces suffered casualties in the attack, the exact numbers are still being investigated.
