A spokesperson from the Launglone Peninsula Force (LPF) has confirmed that six military council soldiers were killed during an engagement with revolutionary forces in Sinswae village, Minthar village tract, Yebyu Township, Tanintharyi Region. The clash occurred around 8 AM on June 2nd when revolutionary forces encountered and engaged approximately 30 military council troops who were conducting a patrol from their position within Sinswae village. The resistance forces successfully executed a surprise attack, gaining tactical advantage in the initial moments of the confrontation.
During the engagement, at least six military council soldiers were killed and approximately 13 others were wounded. The military council forces were unable to mount an effective counterattack and retreated in disarray. Following the initial clash, revolutionary forces continued their offensive by launching an artillery attack on the military council’s base within Sinswae village, using five 60mm mortars. While additional military casualties are suspected from this bombardment, detailed information is still being gathered and verified by resistance forces.
The operation was carried out through a coordinated effort of multiple revolutionary groups, including Dauna Column 3 Dauna Unit 7 (LPF), Dauna Unit 4 (KBDF), Dauna Column 2 (YGF), MSRF, NMSP (AD)RMA, and the Nonentity Coach training force. The resistance forces were able to withdraw successfully without suffering any casualties. According to the LPF spokesperson, the military council troops involved in the clash are believed to have been deployed from the Mawrawaddy Naval force.
The military situation in Tanintharyi Region remains tense, with ongoing conflicts and the potential for further engagements at any time. Revolutionary forces have issued advisories to local civilians, particularly those displaced by the fighting, to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary travel within village areas where military operations are taking place. This precautionary measure aims to ensure civilian safety as combat operations continue throughout the region.
