“This moment is a critical period when battlefronts have opened nationwide, and efforts are intensifying in the military sphere. The revolution has reached this advanced stage, progressing step by step, solely due to the unwavering support and participation of the revolutionary public.
In the struggle to uproot the military dictatorship, the members of the PRF—who stand steadfastly behind the frontline People's Defense Forces (PDFs) and provide vital logistical support—are playing an immensely significant role.
Throughout the course of this anti-dictatorship revolution, even amid oppression, you did not flinch; even in the face of challenges, you did not retreat; and in fulfilling your duties in the logistics role, you have never failed.
I express my deep respect and heartfelt tribute to each and every one of you.”
In recognition of their consistent and unwavering service, the Ministry of Defense under the NUG, through the PRF’s logistics support program, will present honorary gifts to these logistics troops. Deputy Minister Naing Kaung Ywet has also urged all logistics personnel to continue their vital participation without fail until the final victory of the revolution is achieved.

๐๐ 4. Historic Shin Pin Thar Dun Oo Pagoda in Nawtoke Gyi Town Bombed and Destroyed by Terrorist Military Forces

Radio NUG
At 12:18 a.m. on June 23, the Myanmar military junta carried out an airstrike using two bombs targeting the historic Shin Pin Thar Dun Oo Pagoda, located in Ward No. 2, Nawtoke Gyi Town, according to local reports. The blast caused the collapse and destruction of the pagoda’s spires and structures.
Shin Pin Thar Dun Oo Pagoda is a prominent ancient stupa in Nawtoke Gyi Town. It is said to have originated from a divine sign when a bull belonging to a novice monk named Maung Thar Dun Oo, from Nwa Hto Ywa village, bowed its head and bled at the site—leading to the establishment of the pagoda based on a prophecy by Ashin Naing Zan, a revered monk. Hence, the pagoda came to be known as Shin Pin Thar Dun Oo.
Furthermore, records state that during the early Pagan era, Crown Prince Kwan Saw Kyaung Phyu, who later ascended the throne, once pledged allegiance at this pagoda and, upon becoming king, undertook renovations and worshipped at the site.
The stupa stood seven stories tall, constructed with teak wood panels, supported by 59 wooden pillars. As a result of the recent bombing, its main structures and sacred reliquary spires were heavily damaged and destroyed.

Currently, they are under proper protection and care, and their essential needs are being addressed, according to Myeik District Battalion No. 1 of the People's Defense Force (PDF).
The battalion also stated that it is making every effort through various means to provide the best possible assistance to these individuals who were victims of forced military recruitment.
These reports were compiled and sent by Radio NUG correspondents Tharki and Khur Shel.
