“On May 30, the Ministry of Defense of the National Unity Government (NUG) has provided 5 weapons to the Yin Mar Bin District Battalion (16) in Sagaing Region,” the Battalion Commander, Outswel, told to MPA.
We had to wait for 6 or 7 months. They provided 5 guns, and each gun has one hundred bullets and three bullet spare-magazines. All 5 guns have 15 bullet spare-magazines and 500 bullets,” the Battalion Commander, Outswel, told to MPA.
It is said that the current supply is only the weapons provided to the guard for a battalion, and NUG is trying to equip more full arms.
“Before I got the weapon, there were many difficulties. Now that the NUG is providing, more or less, the weapons, so the military activities will become more active in the provinces,” he continued.
It is said that during the flooding of the Yamar creek due to the Mokha storm this month, a camp of the Yin Mar Bin District Battalion (16) was flooded and there was a lot of damage.
“Since we have suffered a lot of losses, I would like to request that the people should donate to ground as well. Like the NUG has equipped with the weapons, we would like to request people to help for the cost of ammunitions,” he said.
It was learned that the NUG told the Yin Mar Bin District Battalion (16) that the NUG will gradually equip the other Battalions that have not yet been equipped with weapons.
