SAGAING DIVISION – An official from Northwest Plains Revolutionary Forces (NPRF) reported that they intercepted and attacked the junta convoy transporting rations near the military husbandry corps on the Monywa-Mandalay Road in Chaung U Township, destroying three cars and killing at least three junta forces.
The junta convoy made up of five vehicles heading towards Chaung U from Monywa was said to have been attacked by joint revolutionary forces at around 9:40 a.m. on June 20.
“We attacked with a hand grenade from a close range and it dealt quite the damage. (The car) even blasted into flames. We planned to pick up the weapons but couldn’t as the junta forces were opening fire nonstop. Our comrades are all safe. We did lose a small arms. As battles are still ongoing, support is required. This attack was effective but we lost a small arms which is a considerable loss,” said the official from NPRF.
It is said that the terrorist junta forces fired a large number of heavy artillery shells into the surrounding area after the attack.
The attack was carried out by NPRF, Chindwin Land Defence Forces, Area 71 PDF, Black Hero Local PDF, Myingyan Danger Dynamite, United People’s Army and People’s Liberation Army. Members of the defence forces were unharmed but a small firearm was reportedly lost.
