The People’s Defense Force in Chaung-U has confirmed that their drone strike on the military outpost in Myapyarlay, Chaung-U Township, Sagaing Region, resulted in the death of two military personnel, including one officer. The attack occurred on March 6 at approximately 5:30 PM, when revolutionary forces successfully launched two precision drone strikes on the military outpost located along the Monywa-Mandalay highway.

During the attack, an artillery commander and another soldier were killed instantly, while five other military personnel sustained severe injuries. The wounded soldiers were evacuated to Monywa city in two armored vehicles at approximately 11:23 PM that night. According to reports from revolutionary forces, the bodies of the two deceased soldiers were given a military funeral ceremony inside the Northwest Military Command headquarters the following day, March 7, at 10 AM. The precision of the drone strike demonstrated the increasing capabilities of resistance forces in their campaign against military installations.
In a separate incident in Tanintharyi Region, revolutionary forces conducted another effective drone strike against the military council’s Infantry Battalion 558 in Tanintharyi Township.
