“We started the battle at 6 am on the 5th and we could finish it off before 5 pm. In one day, the military junta’s side may be about 20 dead , and we have about 10 bodies,”

a military source on the ground told BBM. To date, the revolutionary forces are continuing to clear the area around the village and have reportedly seized a large amount of ammunition and weapons.

In addition, a military source told BBM that two newly graduated lieutenants were killed and a major-level officer was missing during the battle.

“I heard that officers who had just graduated from school were killed in the battle of Mualpi, and the missing junior officers are still missing,”
