🚩🚩 2. BWM Forces Fire Three 107mm Rockets at Junta’s Northwestern Military Headquarters in Monywa
June 15
Resistance forces launched three 107mm short-range rockets at the Northwestern Military Headquarters (Na Ma Kha) of the junta in Monywa, Sagaing Region, with all rockets reportedly hitting their intended targets and exploding successfully, according to a statement issued today (June 15) by the Brave Warriors for Myanmar (BWM).
The attack occurred on the night of June 14 at around 10 p.m., targeting the junta’s base of operations, which issues commands to military units in Sagaing, northern Magway, and Chin State. This headquarters is known for directing brutal suppression operations against resistance groups and civilians.
According to BWM, this strike was carried out as “Mission 41” due to the compound’s deployment of tanks, drones, and other military hardware, and its role in orchestrating massacres and oppression of civilians.
Furthermore, intelligence indicated that the junta was planning celebrations within the compound, and the operation was also intended to disrupt their sense of security and create a psychological atmosphere of constant threat.
The rockets launched by the resistance forces did indeed cause explosions within the Northwestern Command Headquarters, and the junta forces responded with retaliatory fire. However, the extent of damage and casualties is still under investigation, the statement added.
The operation was jointly executed under the leadership of BWM, in collaboration with the Shadow – Monywa Group, the Golden Triangle Allied Battalion, and the Justice Brothers Force. No injuries were reported among the revolutionary fighters involved.
