Revolutionary forces successfully rescued five civilians who were forced by the military council to cross minefields and search for supplies in Thayet Kan Pyu Sawthi village, Myaing Township, Magway Region. According to Saw Gyi from the TYK guerrilla force, the rescue operations took place on July 26th and July 17th, when military council troops had forced local civilians to traverse dangerous minefields while searching for supplies.
Among the rescued civilians were two teenagers, a woman in her 60s named Daw Nyein, a 58-year-old woman named Daw Aye, and Ko San Lin, who is in his 30s. The revolutionary forces reported that all the rescued individuals were living in poor conditions, with one requiring medical treatment due to poor health. Despite the extremely dangerous and challenging nature of the rescue operation, the revolutionary forces successfully managed to extract all five civilians from the perilous situation they were forced into by the military council troops.
Saw Gyi from the TYK guerrilla force confirmed that all rescued civilians have been relocated to safe areas. He also announced that they are prepared to assist more civilians who wish to escape from Thayet Kan Pyu Sawthi village. The joint forces, including the TYK guerrilla force, Daung Man Group’s Battalion (1)’s Unit (4) Thingaha Regional Defense Force, and the Central Plains Allied Forces, have extended an invitation to help relocate more civilians to secure locations. They emphasized that local residents seeking to escape the military council’s oppression can contact the revolutionary forces for assistance in reaching safety.
