Revolutionary forces successfully launched a coordinated attack against a Military Council column from Division 33 consisting of 50 troops that had entered Sagaing Township, resulting in at least 25 military casualties and forcing the entire column to retreat in disarray. The battle took place on April 25 when resistance forces engaged the military column that was advancing toward Mingun and Padu villages in Sagaing Township. The military had split into multiple columns to enter Sagaing Township, posing threats to local civilians in the area.
The successful operation by revolutionary forces managed to completely neutralize the military column, though resistance sources report that the military is now mobilizing reinforcements from nearby bases, requiring extreme vigilance. The military has been deploying divided columns throughout the Sagaing region, exerting military pressure on local populations. Revolutionary sources confirmed that the military continues to conduct offensive operations while threatening civilians in the area.
In the battle, more than 25 soldiers from Division 33 were killed, and resistance forces captured military weapons and ammunition, while the remaining soldiers fled the area. The operation involved coordinated efforts between local revolutionary forces and village PDF units, successfully repelling the military’s offensive. The current military situation remains tense, requiring resistance forces to maintain heightened alertness as they continue their operations. The revolutionary forces are carefully monitoring the situation while maintaining defensive positions against potential further military advances in the region.
