We also dropped bombs by a drone. The bunkers were set up and fired. At 9 o’clock, when we were going to into the camp, the Military airstrike came to attack the camp. One of our comrades was killed and ones were injured. We retreated. We attacked again for the second time. The air support came and shot again.
The military also shot by the machine on the plane. They dropped bombs as well,” said an official from the Midland Region Guerrilla Force-MRG.
Major Laya, who is in charge of the Battalion-1 of Myaing-PaKaFa, also said that if there was no air support, the camp would be able to raided.
The battle was in the morning. We were in close- attack. They had good bunkers and trenches, they were skilled in the area, and the fighting area was wide, so it was less effective than we thought. But if there was no air force, we were able to raided to camp. 1 comrade of my unit was killed and the 4 ones were injured. One of them is worried in bad condition,” said Major Laya.
It is known that 1 comrade was killed and 7 ones were injured, and 1 comrade was hit in the neck by a bullet fired from the plane of the SAC Military, so his condition was worried.
