A representative from the Kyunsu Township People’s Defense Force has confirmed that two navy personnel who were injured during an attack on a military naval vessel group in Kyunsu Township, Tanintharyi Region, died while being transported to Myeik. The incident occurred on March 13, when revolutionary forces intercepted and attacked a military naval group near Won Taung village as they were approaching from the direction of Myin Twar and Shaw Taw Maw villages. The naval group consisted of two military vessels, including Naval Vessel 114, two motorboats, and three smaller fiber boats.
Following the engagement, military council forces attempted to secretly transport two injured navy personnel by speedboat to Myeik, but they died during the journey. According to the Kyunsu Township People’s Defense Force spokesperson, the military council attempted to conceal their casualties from the public by conducting this covert evacuation. The battle lasted only a few minutes, and the revolutionary forces were able to withdraw successfully without suffering any casualties. This engagement demonstrates the ongoing conflict between resistance forces and the military council in the Tanintharyi Region, where naval operations have become increasingly significant in the broader context of Myanmar’s revolutionary struggle.
