Myaung Special People Defense Force (MSPDF) announced that two soldiers were killed and four were injured when they attacked the Police Station and the General Administration Office in Myaung town, Sagaing Region.
It is said that on July 31, at around 2:00 p.m., Myaung Police Station and the General Administration Office where there were about 50 strong were ambushed and attacked with heavy weapons and small arms.
“We didn’t enter into the police station and general administration office. Since it was a heavy weapon mission, we only fired at a distance. 2 people were killed. One lost his leg. 3 people were seriously injured,” Myaung Special People Defense Force’s information officer, a comrade Lwin Gue, told MPA.
The attack was retaliated by the SAC military with machine guns, but the PDF comrades were able to retreat without being harmed.
