SAGAING DIVISION – It was reported by locals that the atrocious junta council attacked using two MI35 helicopters after the battle near Kwingyi Village of Tigyaing Township, where they suffered many casualties.
A clash broke out between the People’s Defence Forces (PDF) and the junta army on August 20 at around 9:00 a.m., on the mountain east of Kwingyi Village. Junta troops faced many injuries and bombarded the region with two MI35 helicopters.
“We heard the sound of gunfire from the mountain range at the east of Kwingyi Village after 9 a.m. When we heard such shots, we asked the PDF and found out that they were fighting against the military council. The people in the village were also informed by the emergency team of PDF. While we were running for safety, two junta helicopters were seen opening fire. I don’t know exactly whether the attacks landed in the village or not. All the villagers have been fleeing now,” said a local.
At present, thousands of people from Kwingyi Village of about 300 houses, are fleeing from the war urgently, and the military situation on the ground is still tense.
