๐๐ 3. Resistance Forces Intercept Military Convoy Returning from Shwebo, Seizing Cooking Oil Supplies
March 15
The People’s Defense Force (PDF) of Shwebo Township reported that resistance forces intercepted and attacked a military convoy returning from Shwebo with supplies, seizing containers of cooking oil.
According to sources, a military unit of approximately 50 troops transported supplies from villages in Pyusawhti-controlled areas such as Zee Phyu Kone, Pan Yan, and Zee Kone Lay in three military trucks. Upon receiving intelligence, resistance forces launched an ambush on March 14 at around 3:40 PM.
The attack took place along the Shwebo-Ye U Road, lasting over an hour. One of the junta’s military trucks veered off the road and into a roadside ditch, forcing the soldiers to flee.
Following the attack, resistance forces seized a supply truck carrying six 10-gallon containers of cooking oil and several plastic containers of additional supplies.
While casualties were reported among the junta’s troops, the exact number could not be independently verified. The resistance forces later set fire to the truck that had crashed into the roadside ditch to prevent retrieval by the military.
The operation was led by the Shwebo PDF Battalion Commander and carried out by Shwebo PDF Offensive Force (PDO) in coordination with multiple allied groups, including:
Division 5 PDF Offensive Force
Gallon Gyi PDF
Belu Nyi Naung PDF
Hline Lone Ni Force
