A drone attack carried out by the People’s Defense Force (PDF) on a military council checkpoint in Ye-U town, Sagaing Region, has resulted in severe injuries to three military council soldiers, according to a responsible official from the Ye-U Township People’s Defense Force. The incident occurred around 2:33 PM on August 5, targeting a checkpoint located in the northern part of Ye-U town where military council troops and over 100 Pyu Saw Htee members were conducting security checks. The attack was precisely executed, targeting the military council forces who have been maintaining the checkpoint to control civilian movement in the area.
According to confirmation from a PDF official in Ye-U Township, the three military council soldiers sustained severe head injuries during the attack and were immediately rushed to a hospital in Ye-U town for emergency treatment. The revolutionary forces who conducted the attack were able to withdraw safely without sustaining any casualties. This operation represents part of the ongoing resistance movement against the military council’s oppressive actions against civilians. The successful drone attack demonstrates the increasing tactical capabilities of resistance forces in their fight against military council positions.
Within the Sagaing Region, military council forces have been conducting various forms of civilian oppression, including arbitrary arrests, torture, property confiscation, and forced military service. In response, People’s Defense Forces have been closely monitoring military council activities and conducting strategic operations when necessary. These drone attacks on military checkpoints are specifically aimed at disrupting the military council’s ability to maintain control points used to oppress civilian movement and activities. The incident highlights the ongoing conflict between resistance forces fighting for civilian protection and the military council forces continuing their campaign of violence and oppression against the local population.
