It is known that a bridge that is important for providing reinforcements to Bago, Shwegyin, and Kyauk Gyi has been mined and destroyed by PDFs.
Bago Region PDF reported that a bridge that was mainly used for the support of the SAC troops and reinforcements along the old Yangon-Mandalay expressway in Nyaunglaypin Township, was mined and cut off by cooperation with the People’s Defense Forces.
At about 2:47 PM on Feb. 9, a 60-foot-long bridge was blown up between Nyaung Lay Pin Township, Htein Tapin, and Htaw Nwe Village.
This bridge is a bridge used to travel to Shwegyin and Kyaukgyi, which is the area of KNU Brigade – 3.
“It is the bridge between Battalion – 7 and Battalion – 9 in the 3rd Brigade area. In the past, between Battalion 7 and Battalion 9, this bridge was used to send reinforcements. They used to pass through Kyaukgyi Township. Previously, when the KNU took control of the area, they are currently using the Yangon-Mandalay Expressway. If reinforcements are coming for Battalion-7 in the Shweyin area, and Battalion-9 in Kyaukgyi, they have to come from the old road through Nyang Lay Pin. Now we broke the bridge, so it will be a problem for the military for the reinforcements in sudden.”, said a local PDF comrade.
The explosion was carried out jointly by Nyaung Lay Pin Township (PDF) and Kyauk Tadar Township (PDF) as Nan Htike Aung Operation.
On Feb. 3, the Nyaung Lay Pin Township (PDF) went and fired at the train station outpost in Tawwi Village, Nyaung Lay Pin Township with M79.
