A drone strike carried out by the Taung Nyo column targeted the residence of Pyu Saw Htee leader Aung Gyi in Let Pan village along the Sittaung River in Waw Township, Bago Region, on the evening of March 18. The attack resulted in the death of two soldiers and left seven Pyu Saw Htee members severely injured, according to local officials.
The incident occurred around 6 PM when military council soldiers and Pyu Saw Htee members were gathered at Aung Gyi’s house. The drone strike by the Taung Nyo column resulted in two military council soldiers being killed instantly. Seven Pyu Saw Htee members sustained severe injuries and were initially taken to Myit Kyoe Hospital before being transferred to Taungoo Hospital for further treatment.
Let Pan village is known to be one of the strongest Pyu Saw Htee strongholds among the villages along the Sittaung River, with more than thirty Pyu Saw Htee members operating in the area. The Pyu Saw Htee leader Aung Gyi has been known for repeatedly challenging local People’s Defense Force members. Local sources suggest that Pyu Saw Htee activities in the region may decrease following this drone strike. The village has been a significant base for pro-military activities, and this attack represents a notable blow to their operations in the area.
