SAGAING DIVISION- Comrade Yaw Lay, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Yaw Region People’s Defense Force (YPDF), told the media that locals handed over the explosive materials found in the Yaw region to them.
In October, two explosive materials and a piece of communication equipment deposited at 3 locations were received. An unexploded RPG bomb, an unusable drone bomb, and a Radio Telecom (RT) device with an extra battery were handed to us by the locals, Comrade Yaw Lay stated.
“Local reported and handed over remnants of war as they see them. Our troops are also providing special security,” said the Chairman of the YPDF Central Committee.
In addition, landmines and bobby traps planted by junta troops remained in the area and thus caution must be taken, Comrade Yaw Lay explained the situation of landmines in the region.
YPDF urges the public not to handle themselves if they find military equipment, explosives, or suspected remnants of war, but to immediately inform the nearby battalions and travel safely after the disposal process.
