SAGAING DIVISION – According to an accountable person of Area 71 PDF (People Defense Force), they blasted the junta council convoy carrying copper on the Monywa-Chaung U road section, in Sagaing Division. As a result, three junta council troops were said to have been killed.
The revolutionary forces waited to blast the junta council convoy consisting of 30 vehicles carrying copper which left from Monywa City, at a place on the Monywa-Chaung U road section. But, as there were also civilian vehicles, Area 71 PDF blasted only the last junta council vehicle, using a landmine and the attack resulted in three junta council casualties.
The accountable person of Area 71 PDF mentioned that “we could manage to blast one out of thirty junta council vehicles. We couldn’t blast them (the junta council vehicles) as there were buses and family cars. We could only blast the last one only when there were no civilian vehicles. There were back and forth fire fights against the junta council hidden sentry troops. As they (the junta council troops) fired back using 40 mm mortars, we retreated.”
That attack was carried out by Area 71 PDF and the revolutionary forces had to retreat due to insufficient ammunition but are said to be unharmed. The dead bodies of the junta council troops were reportedly brought back to Khin Mon Farm.
