SAGAING DIVISION – PDF comrades attacked the junta fleet ascending from Mawlite Town Harbor, located between Mawlite and Phaungbyin Town, on Saturday morning, September 2.
“We attacked them at the narrowest point of the river, and a clash occurred. The junta troops launched an offensive on the ground because they were attacked,” said a PDF comrade.
The junta fleet consisted of three fighter ships, eight provision ships, and some towboats. They departed from Mawlite on August 30 and were attacked near Wae Katha Village, Tat Kone Village Group, Mawlite Township.
“We attacked them at the narrowest part of the river,” said a PDF comrade. The junta soldiers launched an offensive at Wae Katha Village after being attacked, forcing civilians to flee.
This junta fleet also raided Yuu Wa Village by firing heavy artillery shells and small weapons, destroying the monastery yesterday.
The distance between Mawlite and Phaungbyin is around 50 nautical miles, and it’s approximately 90 nautical miles between Mawlite and Homalin. Therefore, PDF comrades have warned the public to remain vigilant about military situations.
