MANDALAY DIVISION – Thabeikyin Township People’s Defence Force (PDF) announced on Saturday (March 9) that the Twinnge-Kyarnyet-Tagaung Road is temporarily closed due to the clashes in Tagaung Township.
In Thabeikyin Township, near Tagaung, battles are ongoing and the military situation is intense. The military is using aerial attacks and launching offensives in the area and thus the Twinnge-Kyarnyet-Tagaung Road is too dangerous for public use and the section has been closed (for an indefinite period), informed Thabeikyin PDF.
“Approximately 3,000 people from seven villages are fleeing the war,” said an official of Thabeikyin PDF.
In addition, PDF appeals to the public not to use the road segment until the official withdrawal of the prohibited period.
If the warning statements are not followed, the PDF will not be responsible for the consequences, stated Thabeikyin PDF.
From March 4 to 7, there were clashes between the military council army and the local PDFs near Tagaung City and junta troops were facing high causalities, according to residents.
