August 13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least eight soldiers from the terrorist junta forces were killed in an attack on their camp stationed in Taloke village, Myingyan Township, Mandalay Region, according to resistance forces who took part in the battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resistance launched the attack on August 9 at around 6:00 a.m., targeting the junta troops stationed in Taloke village with three assault columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The battle lasted until 3:00 p.m., spanning eight hours. Due to casualties on the junta\u2019s side, the enemy responded with more than 30 rounds from 120 mm howitzers, three 60 mm mortars, 12 bombs, and aerial attacks from a Mi-35 helicopter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, four resistance fighters were injured, forcing them to withdraw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the resistance could not completely capture the military camp because the junta received reinforcements from ground troops, artillery units, and forces from Myingyan, the operation still inflicted significant damage and casualties on the enemy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attack was jointly carried out by CDSOM \u2013 Captain Zingya Column<\/strong> and PDF \u2013 Taloke<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The battle broke out at around 9:30 a.m. on August 10 when junta troops entered Tamokchone village to secure their position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attacking forces came from Tanintharyi Township PaKaFa<\/strong> (People\u2019s Defense Forces), Myeik District Battalion-2<\/strong> (Companies 2 and 3), and others who jointly launched the assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2:46 p.m., the junta forces, having sustained heavy casualties, retreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, as they attempted to regroup with troops in Laetawyar village and prepare for another advance, another clash broke out, after which the resistance forces withdrew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this battle, while several junta soldiers were killed or seriously injured, two resistance fighters were also wounded, and one fighter heroically sacrificed his life for the nation, according to the Tanintharyi Township People\u2019s Defense Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udea9\ud83d\udea9 3. \u201cChina\u2019s self-interested dominance is a major obstacle to the Spring Revolution,\u201d says TNLA Commander-in-Chief Tar Bhone Kyaw<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

August 13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

China\u2019s dominance, driven purely by its own self-interest, is one of the major obstacles to Myanmar\u2019s Spring Revolution, said Tar Bhone Kyaw, Commander-in-Chief and General Secretary of the Ta\u2019ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), in a social media post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the evening of August 12, under the title \u201cThe biggest difficulties we currently face in the revolution,\u201d<\/em> he wrote about China\u2019s self-interested dominance as a key challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe inhumane and brutal acts of the Myanmar military dictatorship\u2026
China\u2019s dominance motivated solely by self-interest\u2026
The long-standing oppression that has exhausted and weakened the people\u2026
The absence of strong, united leadership for the revolution\u2026
And other challenges as well.
In such a situation, we face setbacks and advances \u2014 but we must overcome these obstacles step by step.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In northern Shan State, China has been pressuring the TNLA to avoid armed clashes, while at the same time, the junta is increasing military pressure in Mogok, Thabeikkyin, Hsipaw, and Kyaukme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to TNLA spokesperson Lway Yay Oo, speaking earlier this month, the TNLA is facing not only China\u2019s political pressure but also direct military pressure from the junta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite these pressures, the TNLA continues to coordinate with allied forces to firmly hold territories under its control, including Kyaukme, Hsipaw, and Mogok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
