๐๐ 1. Junta Forces Destroy Myochaung-Sain Kant Lant Road in Minhla Township Using Bulldozers
July 4
According to the local news source Minhla Thadin, the military junta, fearing potential attacks from resistance forces targeting Minhla town and Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) 1, has destroyed the Myochaung–Sain Kant Lant main road using bulldozers.
At around 10:00 AM on July 1, near Thike Myaung Hill along the Myochaung–Sain Kant Lant road located within the western part of Minhla Township, western Bago Region, junta forces reportedly used bulldozers and excavators to dig trenches and demolish the road.
It was reported that three armored vehicles and approximately 400 junta soldiers arrived in a convoy and proceeded to destroy the road with heavy machinery near Thike Myaung Hill.
Local residents said the road was destroyed over a width of roughly 10 feet, severely hindering transportation and movement in the area.
The Myochaung–Sain Kant Lant road is approximately 112 kilometers long and connects Kyauk Tan Khar Township in eastern Bago with the western part of the region.
On June 9, junta troops had already used bulldozers and dug trenches—also about 10 feet wide—to damage the road near the 2-Mile Gate along the same Myochaung–Sain Kant Lant route, within Kyauk Tan Khar Township, according to Minhla Thadin.
In addition, at approximately 4:00 PM on July 3, junta forces carried out a drone bombing attack on Tharyaw Kon village, located in Htaut Kone village tract, Minhla Township, resulting in three civilian homes being destroyed and three civilians seriously injured, local sources said.
Since June 19, junta forces have been conducting split military operations in Minhla Township. These attacks have led to the burning of more than 10 villages, with over 200 homes reportedly destroyed by fire.

According to a statement from the People’s Defense Force–Ponnawati (Taung Twin Gyi), eight junta soldiers, including a military officer, were killed in a landmine ambush on a junta unit en route to rotate guards at a checkpoint along the Koe Pin–Thagara road in Sin Paung Wae Township, Magway Region.
On June 27 at 9:30 AM, junta soldiers traveling from both Thar Si checkpoint and Thapyay San checkpoint were ambushed at two separate locations with landmine attacks near Padetha village.
The operation was reportedly carried out jointly by the People’s Defense Force–Ponnawati (Taung Twin Gyi) and Regiment 5 of Tharyet District, Sin Paung Wae Township.
The attack resulted in eight fatalities, including a captain, and 11 others were severely injured. Resistance sources reported that no PDF fighters were harmed.
Because the Koe Pin–Thagara road is part of the main Bago highway route, resistance forces have warned logging and bamboo trucks to avoid the area and have also urged civilians to steer clear of junta checkpoints and locations where junta forces may be stationed.

According to the announcement, Kyaw Kalat (aka Myint Shine), a resident of Aye Chan Thar Village, was executed at 10:30 AM on July 2. He was accused of collaborating with the junta, being involved in the trade of narcotic drugs, spying on revolutionary forces, informing the junta of resistance movements, and oppressing villagers.
Later that same morning, at 11:50 AM, junta-appointed village administrator Hla Naing, who resided in Saikphu Village, was also executed inside the village by PDF members.
The PDF in Kawthaung stated that the use and sale of WY methamphetamine pills, which have destructive effects on young people, is widespread across both Kawthaung and Khamaunggyi townships.
They urged the public to report any drug dealers or users, pledging to take effective legal action. Informational leaflets have reportedly been distributed to raise public awareness of these issues.
Furthermore, the PDF called on people in Kawthaung Township to refrain from engaging in drug activities, and warned that any individuals involved with the junta apparatus should switch allegiance to the people and seek protection under the people's movement without delay. Those who refuse to do so will be subject to necessary and decisive action, in accordance with revolutionary procedures.
