We contacted the revolutionary forces involved in the battle to find out more, but the revolutionary forces said that they will not release more details.

“A lot of soldiers have arrived and are clearing the area. We were not allowed to go near the offices. According to what people in the city said, if the firebrigade does not arrive, everything will burn down. Now, they have deployed a large number of soldiers around there,” said a Yebyu resident.
