BAGO DIVISION- An official from People’s Defense Force – PDF Sub-district (2), reported that the Sittaung Riverbank areas, including Thamin Innkone region, Kyauktagar Township, have been under PDF military control.
Bago Division, which has the second largest number of military weapon factories is the lifeblood of the military council, and now the military has lost its control over most of the region and the PDF joint forces have controlled them militarily.
Sittatung Riverbank region is an important region connecting Bago division, Mon and Karen States and thus the military regime forces are trying hard to control the area, especially Thamin Innkone and Nanza villages that connects to the old Yangon-Mandalay Road could bring a direct (military) threat to their base.
The People’s Defense Forces can control many of the areas that can threaten the military council, and soon the National Unity Government-NUG would make announcements regarding this situation.
The People’s Defense Forces will not only stop in the controlled areas but would try to expand and dominate the area, and thus firefights may continue to intensify, stated the person in charge of PDF Sub-district (2).
The revolution has now changed from defensive to counter-offensive, so the PDF officer appeals to the people to continue to stay strong and support them to succeed in this revolution.
