After that, the terrorist junta forces raided Lintakai Hospital and looted the medicine, taking them away in six military trucks. In addition, the junta forces were reported to have burned down three houses in Salkan Village, stolen two cars belonging to civilians, and robbed items and cash amounting to about 70 million Kyats.
Revolutionary forces reportedly attacked those junta forces with four 60mm shells and although the attack possibly resulted in junta casualties, the exact numbers are not known.
“We don’t know the detailed casualties yet. We fired four 60mm shells at them. They launched an invasion of foot in two groups around 4 a.m. They burned down three houses in Salkan Village. They looted civilian properties, including two cars and cash belonging to residents of Lintakai Prefecture and called their cars to loot the items at Lintakai Hospital around 11 a.m. before leaving.
