Revolutionary forces conducted simultaneous attacks on twelve military council positions across four townships in Mandalay Region’s Myingyan District, resulting in over fifty casualties among the military council forces and the seizure of 27 weapons. The operation, which began on May 15, targeted military installations, checkpoints, and bases in Myingyan, Ngazun, Thaungtha, and Natogyi townships. The coordinated attacks were carried out as a district-level operation under the command of the 9/A Nyar Myae Operation group.
