SAGAING DIVISION- The weapon production unit of Danger Force Local Defense Force reportedly burnt down due to extreme heat leading to wire shock and explosions.
The production equipment and machines were burnt along with the building and thus the Danger Force has currently been halting the explosive (mines) and motor/launcher production.
“The weather is scorching hot and the machines were overheated by the frequent use that led to electric shock. It was the first time our production unit caught on fire. We didn’t plan to make an official announcement about this news. But we are still struggling to build a new production unit and so we’re requesting assistance,” said Mr. Naung Yoe of Danger Force LPDF.
About 70 million kyats worth of machines and equipment were lost in the fire on April 10. A Twenty-five million worth Lathe machine, two welding machines,a high-power cutter, six angle grinders, two high-power drills, one small drill, twisted drill bits, a motor, a 7.62mm launcher and 35 rounds of ammunition, 25 rounds of 9mm bullets, 30 rounds of 5.56 mm bullets, a (9A) mobile phone, and a walkie talkie were reportedly lost in the fire.
“The fire caused a huge loss for us amidst the accelerating clashes in our area. No assistance is received to rebuild the weapon production unit yet but hopefully the people would support us as much as they could,” continued Mr. Naung Yoe.
The Danger Force LPD had attacked the Junta security gate in the western exit of Ayardaw Town on April 10 with 40mm motor fire, reportedly killed two soldiers and injured two others.
