MANDALAY DIVISION – Locals reported that after video footage of the Tawgyi Viper (Wild Viper) Group, fully armed, wandering around and shopping in Sakyin City was revealed, the military council troops were blocking and arresting them by using large numbers of terrorist troops.
It is reported that the Tawgyi Viper group went shopping in the town yesterday, August 5th, and the military council troops entered the Sakyin and nearby villages in seven junta vehicles at 4:00 a.m. today, August 6th, and are interrogating and arresting the residents.
“The military council army entered Sakyin with seven military vehicles and deployed after 4:00 a.m. The column split up and then deployed in the mountains near Myaypon Kan Ywar village in the north of Sakyin.” said a Madaya PDF.
In addition, the military council troops stationed in Sakyin fired 10 rounds of heavy weapons around at 10:00 a.m. Until now (around 1:00 p.m.), the military council troops are still in Sakyin, and the residents are trapped inside.
It’s said that “the terrorist soldiers arrested three local women, but we can’t confirm it yet”.
The leader of the group said that the Tawgyi Viper group went to the town of Sakyin in the Mandalay Region to explore the area and do some shopping because there was a challenge to the PDF forces by the terrorist army.
As they said, “If any person who dares to die comes out, so we dare to die, and come out. We are the first to come out of the city armed. No one is ready within the revolutionary forces to go like this. In that city, we know that there are Pyu Saw Htee, informants, and soldiers of the junta council. If they shoot, we are ready to shoot too,” Boti, the leader of the Tawgyi Viper Force, said on August 5th.
Sakyin is only a ten-minute drive from Madaya, and there are a lot of terrorist army movements in the area.
