MAGWAY DIVISION – An official from Yesagyo Revolution Group (YRG) reported that a junta soldier was killed and a weapon was seized in the attack on the checkpoint of junta subordinate Pyu Saw Htee militia near Sinmaye Village in Pakokku Township.
Revolutionary forces attacked around 20 junta forces that came out from Sinmaye Village at the checkpoint on September 16 around 10:45 a.m., killing one junta soldier and confiscating a weapon.
It is said that the revolutionary forces were able to fall back safely after the attack but two motorcycles were lost due to the arrival of junta reinforcements.
“We attacked just as the junta sentries from Sinmaye Village, around 20 junta dogs (junta forces), arrived at Sinmaye checkpoint. One junta dog died and we also seized a weapon,” said the official from YRG.
The attack was carried out together by YRG and Pakokku District Battalion 16.
