A junta informer was shot dead by the Yebilu Force defence force in Michaung Village, in Mon State’s Ye Township at 9:00 a.m on 20 June.

U Ye Win Ning, aged 59, a military veteran and informer, secretly reported resistance fighters and people taking part in the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) in Ye to the junta army.

He was killed when a member of the Yebilu Force fired 15 rounds of 9mm ammunition at him.

The Yebilu Force commander said: “He was also a veteran. Because of villagers’ complaints, we had been monitoring his whereabouts for seven to eight months so that we could be sure of killing him. We carried out this attack after monitoring his activities as a military informant. We didn’t seize a gun from him."
