NAYPYITAW, 01 December 2021, (TON): An anti-junta guerrilla group on Monday threw a homemade bomb at soldiers who were guarding an office in Mandalay belonging to the military-controlled telecoms company MPT.
Around 20 soldiers were at the office near the Inkhayu pagoda in Pyigyidagun Township when members of Generation Z Power (GZP) threw the bomb inside the building.
A GZP member said “we have been attacking any place where there are soldiers,”
He said “there are usually only four or five soldiers present in that office but there were around 20 present this morning.”
He added that a group of us threw the grenade into the office while our other team armed with guns stood guard so that the soldiers couldn’t follow us. They fired some shots at us from the inside but they were merely shots in the dark as they couldn’t see us.
In a statement, GZP said “its members saw four soldiers lying on the ground after the attack.”
