SAGAING DIVISION – PDF comrades carried out drone attacks on junta forces that had been stationed in Hanlin Ancient Town in Wetlet Township for over a year, according to Bo Kout Yoe, a battalion commander.
Hanlin has around 1,000 houses, but most residents left as junta troops and Pyu Saw Htees have been stationed there.
Using two drones, PDF comrades dropped five bombs on the junta’s location and fired eight rockets. “The junta council soldiers raided empty civilian houses and set up a camp. We executed the operation effectively with the information from our informants,” said Bo Kout Yoe.
During the attack, two junta troops were killed, and seven others were wounded. Further details are currently under investigation.
The junta group also fired back 60MM shells four times and used small weapons, but our comrades successfully disengaged.
Kyaukse Red Dragon Battalion – 1 and Kyaukse District Drone Force also collaborated with Shwebo District Battalion – 15 for this drone attack.
Collaborating with the alliances, Shwebo District Battalion – 15 attacked 100 junta troops who were returning from Wetlet Town to Shwebo Town on the Shwebo – Mandalay Road, resulting in the deaths of the junta soldiers on July 21.
