SAGAING DIVISION – The official in charge of People’s Defence Force – South Monywa reported that they drove by and attacked the junta forces extorting the people in front of Thanlwin Myanmar Gas Station near Ngarshan Village in Chaung U Township and three junta forces were killed.
At 7:42 a.m. on November 1, around ten terrorist junta forces from Khayayphyu Checkpoint in Chaung U Township were extorting money from the people in front of Thanlwin Myanmar Gas Station between Chaung U and Ngarshan Village when the revolutionary forces approached and attacked them, killing one junta soldier on the spot and injuring three and it is said that two died on the way to the hospital.
“The shooting only lasted for a short time. A light truck came and stopped between us during the shooting. Because of that car, we had to stop the shooting and some junta forces escaped. Junta dogs (junta forces) also came out from both Natyaykan and Chaung U so it wasn’t convenient to pick up the weapons. The junta dogs are spread out in most places. Their heavy artillery shells landed between two homes. There were no civilian casualties, only the houses were damaged,” said the official in charge of People’s Defence Force – South Monywa.
Following the attack, junta forces reportedly arrived in two iron plated reinforced vehicles from Monywa and recklessly fired heavy and light weapons from the entrance of Ngarshan Village and a heavy artillery shell landed in Thanpinkan Village and destroyed two houses.
The attack on the junta forces was carried out by Monywa District Battalion 11 – People’s Defence Force – South Monywa, Zayar Shwe Myay People’s Defence Force, Nway Oo Lu Nge People’s Defence Force and Taw Tar Gyi People’s Defence Force and it is said that the members of the defence forces are unharmed.
