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 evacuate two injured navy personnel by motorboat to Myeik, but the injured personnel died during transit. According to the People’s Defense Force official, the military council tried to conduct this evacuation covertly to prevent the public from learning about their casualties. The battle lasted only a few minutes, and the revolutionary forces were able to successfully withdraw without suffering any casualties. The military council’s attempt to conceal their losses reflects their ongoing concern about public perception of their vulnerabilities in the conflict.
