Mytel tower ‘smashed’ in Sagaing’s Chaung-U township

Monywa Lightning PDF and its allies say they smashed and destroyed equipment from the military-owned Mytle Towel near Ah Myint-Taw Kyaung Gyi Road in Chaung-U Township, Sagaing region at around 8 pm on December 29.

The tower was destroyed without blowing it up because it was close to a village. Junta troops have not yet been able to inspect the damaged Mytel tower due to the ongoing clashes taking place in Chaung Oo and Ah Myint villages on December 30.

An official from the Monywa Lightning PDF said Chaung U Local Defense Force, Chaung-U Township Revolutionary Army, Farmers Revolution Force CHU, Bo Moe Joe and group, Monywa Underground Revolution and the Black Wolf Defense Force Monywa collaborated to destroy the tower.

The alliance announced the Monywa-Ah Myint Branch has been temporarily closed since December 28 and requested people not to drive vehicles in the Monywa-Ah Myint Branch area.

Sagaing Region has been the scene of many clashes between the junta and resistance forces since the February coup.
