An armed confrontation broke out near Junction Mawtin shopping mall in Lanmadaw Township, Yangon, between junta-controlled police officers and Pyusawhti militias, according to local residents.
The incident occurred around 8:00 p.m. on June 13. A group of Pyusawhti members reportedly arrived by car, attacked a police officer with machetes and clubs, and shortly afterward, more police forces arrived and opened fire. Four Pyusawhti members were arrested, and one police officer sustained serious injuries.
Some residents stated that the clash stemmed from a personal dispute—allegedly, a woman associated with the police had her money stolen, prompting an attack by local thugs.
A similar incident occurred on May 25 in Kamaryut Township, where an argument over the confiscation of an unlicensed motorbike led to Pyusawhti members opening fire at the township police station.

๐๐ 3. Resistance Forces Could Topple Military Dictatorship Through Guerrilla Warfare Version 2.0, Analysts Say
June 14
Radio NUG
According to an assessment by PDF Insight, the People’s Defense Forces (PDF) and allied ethnic revolutionary groups under the leadership of the National Unity Government (NUG) should adopt a new guerrilla warfare strategy—referred to as “Guerrilla War Version 2.0”—to dismantle the military dictatorship.
This updated strategy, termed “Guerrilla War Version 2.0” by some military analysts, aims to overcome constraints such as limited resources and international diplomatic restrictions.
Unlike conventional forms of armed resistance, this version emphasizes the creation of small, elite, highly-trained mobile units that combine military tactics with political messaging, psychological operations, and economic disruption.
These mobile units would typically consist of 30 to 50 personnel equipped with vehicles and communication tools, allowing them to conduct swift, high-impact attacks and withdraw rapidly. They would operate under centralized coordination but retain autonomy for tactical decisions based on real-time battlefield conditions.
The strategy is designed not only for military success but also to translate battlefield victories into political gains. It aims to target the junta’s critical resources, weaken its international legitimacy, and leverage diplomatic and economic pressure, including pushing for stricter sanctions and establishing alternative trade routes in resistance-held territories.
The report argues that forming large conventional armies is resource-intensive and time-consuming, with greater risks to civilian populations. Therefore, “the PDFs and allied revolutionary groups should adopt this strategy. Most units that lack adequate training or equipment should serve in supportive roles, while elite guerrilla units carry out targeted operations. Given that this model is inherently small-scale, it is harder for the military to monitor, and relocation is easier. These small, mobile units can be deployed across various regions and districts to carry out surprise attacks against the military. This also helps reduce logistical challenges and difficulties in manpower management,” the report states.
The strategy draws from modern warfare examples such as the Taliban in Afghanistan, North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and Ukrainian tactics in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. However, it also acknowledges that success in Myanmar will ultimately depend on practical implementation due to the country’s unique political and economic conditions.
