Revolutionary forces launched an attack on the Tower Hill Camp in Longlone Township, Tanintharyi Region, on March 13 at 7:00 AM, resulting in the death of 12 military council soldiers and the seizure of weapons and ammunition, according to a responsible official from the Duraka Column. The battle lasted approximately 6 hours and involved intense fighting. During the operation, the revolutionary forces captured one MA-3 rifle, nine ammunition magazines, three hand grenades, and various other military equipment.
The attack was led by the Duraka Column of the Dawei Nationalities Liberation Army (DNLA), in collaboration with the Yebyu People’s Defense Force (YPPDF) and Dawei District Battalion 2. Given the current escalation of military operations across the country, revolutionary forces have advised local civilians to exercise caution in their daily movements. The intensifying revolutionary activities have been steadily weakening the military council’s territorial control.
The revolutionary forces have extended an invitation to military council soldiers and police force members to defect and join the people’s side, encouraging those who wish to stand for justice to seek refuge with the public as soon as possible. The resistance forces have reported increasing momentum in their military operations, with more areas being liberated from military council control in succession. This successful operation represents another strategic victory in the ongoing resistance against the military council’s oppression of civilians.
