A 100-household administrator was killed and several office staff were injured in a shooting at the No. 9 Ward administration office in Yangon's Shwe Pyi Thar Township at around 7:30 p.m. on 6 September.

Captain Nway Oo from the Yangon Urban Guerrilla Army, one of the defence forces involved in the attack, said: “About seven to eight shots were fired into the ward administration office. We also throw a bomb but it didn’t explode. According to reports, two office staff were injured and one 100-household administrator died in our attack.”

He explained: “The administration offices are the main pillars, driving forces and mechanism of the State Administration Council (SAC), that’s why we’ll keep attacking the administration offices if we get the chance.”

The defence forces returned to the administration office later the same evening, at 9:12 p.m. and this time they successfully detonated a bomb, according to the Yangon Urban Guerrilla Army, another group involved in the first attack.

The attacks were carried out by a combined force from the People's Defense Forces of Shwe Pyi Thar Township and the Yangon Urban Guerrilla Army.

After the attack junta soldiers carried out inspections and arrested some pedestrians, according to unconfirmed reports.
