Three junta soldiers were seriously injured in Aungmyaythazan Township in the city of Mandalay on Thursday when an underground PDF group, Special Task Force-Mandalay, used a grenade to attack regime forces at a ward administration office compound, the PDF group claimed.

Underground resistance group Union of Myanmar Civil Defense claimed it and another PDF group used a remote-controlled bomb to attack the township police station in Yangon’s Mingalardon on Wednesday night.

The police station is surrounded by several military facilities including hospitals and a medical academy.

The PDF group said the police station is notorious for extorting the families of anti-regime activist detainees and for oppressing civilians.

After being bombed, regime forces blocked the roads and inspected civilians. Regime casualties were unknown.
