At least 29 Myanmar junta troops and three resistance fighters were killed in the last two days as People’s Defense Force groups (PDFs) and an ethnic armed organization escalated their attacks on regime forces across the country.

In one case, a junta outpost was seized by a Karen rebel group in Karen State. Also, three junta troops surrendered to an ethnic Chin resistance group.

Incidents were reported in Karen and Chin states and Sagaing, Magwe and Mandalay Regions.

Some military casualties could not be independently verified.

Thirteen regime soldiers and two ethnic Karen resistance fighters were killed in Papun District, Karen State on Tuesday morning when the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) and Karen National Defense Organization (KNDO) raided the Thee Yo Htar junta outpost on a bank of the Salween River, according to local media outlet Salween Press.

After being raided, the rest of the regime forces abandoned the outpost, which has a heliport, the media outlet reported, quoting a KNLA officer.

Eight regime forces were killed in Salingyi Township, Sagaing Region on Tuesday when PDF commandos of four resistance groups ambushed a military detachment that was raiding villages in the township, claimed Salingyi Special Task Force, which was involved in the ambushes.

Firstly, five regime forces were killed and many others injured at 7 a.m. when the combined PDF fighters used machine guns and automatic firearms to ambush the military detachment between Taya and Shan Kaing villages. Before being ambushed, the regime forces destroyed houses during their raid on Taya Village.

At 3 p.m., three more soldiers were killed when the resistance fighters again ambushed the regime forces from close range while the troops were departing from Shan Kaing Village, claimed the PDF group.

In reprisal for the losses, the regime forces burned down houses and torched harvested crops and agricultural machinery belonging to residents of Shan Kaing and Owntaw villages.
