MAGWAY DIVISION- According to an official of Yesagyo Township People’s Defense Force, the junta soldiers who sent rations to Mount Shinma were attacked on their way back. Two soldiers of the military council were seriously injured in the attack.
On January 7, at about 3:00 a.m., about 70-strong soldiers from the 258th Battalion under the 101st Military Division and Pyu Saw Htee column from Sinchaung village, on their way back sending ration to the troops on Mount Shinma, were attacked by the resistance forces. There had been an exchange of fire three times on the way back and two soldiers were seen fallen (after being shot). It is said that the investigation is still ongoing to find out the causalities.
“We attacked them on their way back, we had clashes since early in the morning until 10 a.m. Along the way they went down, we surrounded them and attacked. Two soldiers were seen falling down but the details of the rest of the damage are not yet known. They were on Shinma Mount since January 3. There are only mountain ridges but no villages nearby. We fought on the mountain ridges,” an official from the Yesagyo PDF told the news agency.
That junta column arrived at the Taung Ota checkpoint at around 2:00 p.m., requisitioned public cars, and immediately returned to the IB- 258th Army.
The attack was carried out jointly by the People’s Defense Forces of Yesagyo Township and the 9th Battalion of Pakokku District. The revolution forces were able to retreat unharmed.
