On the morning of 14 March, the combined force attacked the military council’s 5-mile inspection gate on Pathein-Monywa Road, with a 40-mm grenade launcher.
“They (army) have deployed forces and tightened inspection. I have not heard the news about the detention of civilians. This is the second attack,” Ko Myat, information officer of Thayet District Battalion-4 (Eagle Force) told the Than Lwin Times.
He also said that on the same day the People’s Defense Force (PDF) attacked the inspection gate in Sapartan village with two drones and grenades.

The combined force could withdraw without any casualties although the military shot us back, he told the Than Lwin Times.
