Combined people’s defence forces (PDFs) launched a mortar attack on the No.2 Police Station in Monywa Industrial Zone in Sagaing Region’s Monywa Township.

They fired 40mm mortars at the police station at around 1:00 p.m. on 31 October, according to a statement made by one of the PDF groups involved in the attack, Golden Eagle Force Monywa V2.

A press officer for the group said: "During our attack, mortar shells landed inside the police station. They killed three Junta soldiers and injured several others who were stationed in the police station. Then, due to massive Junta reinforcements arriving at the police station, we had to rapidly retreat.”

The defence force groups involved in the attack were: Golden Eagle Force Monywa-V2, the Black Dragon Special Task Force, and the Monywa Ranger Army.
