NAYPYITAW, 13 October 2021, (TON): People’s Defence Force (PDF) chapters in Magway and Sagaing regions ambushed the junta’s armed forces, in neighbouring Yesagyo and Chaung-U townships, respectively.
A leader of the anti-junta resistance group told media “the Chaung-U PDF planted landmines in the township to target a military column traveling from Monywa on the Chaung-U-Pakkoku road just past Mahn Cho village.”
Two military vehicles were reportedly destroyed in the blasts, but the number of soldiers killed in the incident was unconfirmed at the time of reporting.
A leader within the Chaung-U PDF said “they came to carry the bodies of their people back and then blocked the road so that we wouldn’t see how many of them died.”
He added that the army vehicles crashed into one another due to the explosion, likely causing what he described as “many casualties.”
The junta’s roadblock went up to the Sin Phyu Shin bridge crossing the Chindwin River to Magway’s Yesagyo Township.
