In addition, during the fighting, the military junta’s Hpakant Strategic Hill also attacked the revolutionary forces
by artillery and drones, the source added.
“The military junta is attacked with a lot of drones, so we can’t go and pick up the bodies. The military junta side doesn’t dare to pick up the bodies of its people. It’s been like this for a whole day,”
the source added. In the evening after the fighting, the military junta tried to collect the dead bodies of the soldiers using drones, but the KIA and the revolutionary forces attacked the military junta soldiers who were collecting the bodies again, causing many casualties.
“They came again in the evening using drones to pick up the bodies. They came in groups, and when the revolutionary forces side fired, so them were hit in groups. By the end of the day, about 20 people on military junta side had died, “
the military source told BBM. During the fighting, the military junta’s heavy artillery fire killed a monk from the Masoyein Monastery in San Kywe village, and injured four people, including a seven-year-old child.
Regarding the number of casualties during the fighting, a local resident confirmed to BBM,”It was mainly due to the heavy weapons fired from the Hpakant strategic hill,”
