“Yesterday at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, we approached Shwebo University and we fought them. We were able to shoot at two bunkers out of three bunkers well. Six of the enemies were killed. When we were retreating, my comrade ‘Wathan’ and a comrade from the allied forces were hit by bullets from the third bunker and they fell,” Central News and Information Officer Comrade Lun Nyi from the People’s Revolution Front told the MPA.
