Last night around 8pm, a fight broke out between two people at a snooker table in Mayangone Township, Yangon. Local administration office brought in junta’s troops and by that time they arrived, one of the participants had already left. Junta’s soldiers followed his motorbike and shot him twice to death on the spot, after having accused him of carrying a knife. The victim was only 26 years old. Turns out the other person who was in the fight used to be a junta’s servant and he was not harmed at all. Locals said that the family of the victim was asked to sign a settlement letter and bring 300,000 MMK to collect the dead body according to Mizzima.
A coalition of Civil Guerrilla Force Hlaing Tharyar (CGF) and Myanmar Defense Force (MDF Yangon) announced this morning that their forces had attacked regime’s soldiers deployed at a traffic police post in Hlaing Tharyar Township, Yangon yesterday afternoon, killing two and injuring at least three. More junta’s troops arrived at the scene shortly but they were also ambushed and four more were injured while the resistance forces retreated safely according to MDF’s statement. Following the incident, regime’s lackeys had used excessive force during their midnight guest-list inspection in the same ward No.6 of Hlaing Tharyar last night. Consequently, some of the resistance fighters were abducted last night and the trainees list of People Defense Force (PDF) was also seized according to a social media post which urged everyone related to PDF in Insein, Shwepyitha, North Oakkalapa and Hlaing Tharyar townships to move from their current positions.
We reported previously that a car carrying five passengers towards Thanglang Township, Chin State was attacked by junta’s soldiers in which one of them was killed instantly on September 29. Myanmar Now’s story from yesterday described that actually two people were killed and three were injured. All of the passengers had been reportedly fleeing war in a village 7 miles away from Thanglang and the reason of the travel was to discuss the situation of internally displaced people (IDP) in Hakha Town. Apparently, they had also informed the military about their trip but they were welcomed with bullets and shelling from those who thought everyone not wearing a military uniform was an enemy. Sadly, the people who just wanted a dialogue for the better situation of the IDPs were killed by the same violence they wanted to avoid.
