MAGWAY DIVISION – An official from Thayet District Battalion 4 reported that the junta hidden sentries near Maezali Village on the Pathein-Monywa Road in Mindon Township were attacked and two junta forces were killed.
Around 3:15 p.m. on October 29, PDF forces attacked around eight hidden sentries of the terrorist junta council, leading to an exchange of fire that lasted around 15 minutes, killing two junta forces and injuring four.
The terrorist junta soldiers killed in the attack were then collected in a Faw truck by around 15 junta and Pyu Saw Htee forces from Sapartan Village and Nyaungpintha Village and carried towards Oakshitpin Village. The attack was carried out by People’s Defence Force (PDF) Thayet District Battalion 4 Company 1 and it is said that the defence forces were able to return unharmed.
“The site of the attack was only around five miles from Mindon (Town). It is not that far from Mindon 5 mile checkpoint. Around two of their officers were drinking at Maezali Village. We heard that there were hidden sentries for them so we went and attacked them. We arrived just as they were picking up the hidden sentries and we attacked them for around 15 minutes then fell back. Sapartan and Nyaungpintha Villages are a little to the south of the attack site. Those villages are under control of Pyu Saw Htee milia. Around 15 of them came from those villages in a blue Faw truck. We hear that they carried the dead and injured in that truck. We heard that there were junta deaths but can’t confrim the exact numbers,” said the official from Thayet District Battalion 4.
