SAGAING DIVISION – An official of Battalion 14 from Ye-U People Defence Force (PDF) in Shwebo District stated that they carried out a bomb attack by dropping four bombs with two Fixed Wings Drone onto Ye-U administration office, Ye-U downtown, and Sagaing Division on Sunday (March 17) at around 12:45 p.m. while the junta’s officers, administrators and Pyu Saw Htee (junta backed militia) including junta’s Ye-U Township Tactic Commander Phyo Htet Win were holding a meeting to forcibly collect the youths following junta’s conscription law. Subsequently, 13 junta thugs at the scene were said to be dead, and many injuries.
“When four of the junta’s officers, including Tactic Commander Phyo Htet Win, 50 forces of junta thugs, and Pyu and ward administrators were holding a meeting about junta’s conscription law at Ye-U administration office by setting the location behind the overhead water storage tank as cover, we managed to drop the bombs. As per the updated information on this (March 19) morning, a total of 13 junta thugs are said to be dead, including five junta dogs (soldiers), Pyu, and administrators. Their dead bodies will reportedly be buried in a graveyard at the entrance of Ye-U Town today (March 19). We cannot verify whether officers will be included or not. But there might be many injuries by hitting bomb shrapnel,” said an official of Battalion 14 from Ye-U PDF in Shwebo District.
The stated attack was said to be carried out by the Ye-U PDF, Battalion 14 from Shwebo District, and the people’s comrades reportedly retreated successfully, though the junta thugs counterattacked with small weapons.
