MAGWAY DIVISION – The Students’ Armed Force (SAF), Thayet District Battalion 4 – Eagle Force, and Freedom Comrades Force (W.O.L.F) jointly launched a raid on the Five-Mile Gate, a junta checkpoint at the entrance of Mindon Town, on Tuesday (August 15th).
The confrontation lasted approximately an hour and ended in retreat due to weapon malfunctions, despite attempts to seize the checkpoint. Six soldiers from the junta council were killed, and numerous others sustained serious injuries.
The comrades successfully disengaged even as junta troops retaliated with machine gun fire and 40mm artillery shells, reported SAF.
