SAGAING DIVISION – An official of People’s Knight Defence Force – Myinmu (PKDF-MMU) informed that three junta forces were killed in attacks on a junta vehicle and junta soldiers extorting civilians in Myinmu Township.
On May 1 around 10:20 a.m., an iron plate reinforced truck with 17 junta soldiers on board that was guarding 19 trucks transporting copper from Monywa to Sagaing was attacked with five mines between Allakapa Village and Wanpyae Village.
The military truck turned over due to the blast and two junta forces on board died on the spot while another one died at Myinmu Hospital. In addition, four junta forces were also injured.
It is said that the junta guards on the road side fired their weapons into the surroundings for around ten minutes following the blast.
Similarly on April 27 around 10:30 a.m., revolutionary forces fired four rounds of 80mm grenades at an estimated 30 junta forces from Myinmu that were extorting money from the passing civilians after torching the civilian houses by the Myinmu-Monywa Road to the east of Wanpyae Village but the number of junta casualties in that attack is yet to be confirmed.
Currently, the terrorist junta forces are trying to take control of the road section connecting Ohntaw, Myinmu and Monywa, and the official from PKDF-MMU advised the people to be cautious when travelling and to pay attention to the rules and announcements by revolutionary forces.
The attacks were planned by Myinmu Township People’s Defence Organisation and joined by PKDF-MMU.
