NAYPYITAW, 16 November 2021, (TON): People’s Defence Force (PDF) fighters last week badly injured two junta soldiers in an attack in Kawhmu, the Yangon Region township where detained leader Aung San Suu Kyi held her parliamentary seat before the February 1 coup.

The resistance forces opened fire on two vehicles and the two soldiers who were hit are in a critical condition, said “the information and psychological warfare officer of the National Unity Government’s (NUG) Yangon Regional Command.”

He said “Judging from the extent of their injuries, there’s no way they could survive.”

The information officer said “the soldiers were on patrol in a small military vehicle and a civilian vehicle when they were attacked on Kyaik Taw road in the village of Magyikan. The patrol vehicles sped up and drove away without returning fire.”

Local news sources reported that the junta soldiers did fire and three civilians were injured in the fighting, but Myanmar Now was unable to confirm this. Calls to a junta spokesperson went unanswered.
