(Based on staff articles from The MYANMAR NOW MEDIA on 03 July 2024.)
After the NUG has declared the Shan-Man Operation on
June-27 the following PDF battalions [Battalions 1221, 1222, 1223, 1224, &
513 under Mogoke Tactical Command (Byu-har) of Mandalay PDF] immediately went
into action and within a week first Mattayar and now Sintgu townships have been
captured by the resistance forces.
Despite the heavy bombing and straffing contantly from the Myanmar Air Force planes the MDY-PDF forces have captured all Myanmar Army bases in the region and terminated the government administration there. Most of the Sintgu-Thabeikkyin region is a well-known and productive gold-mining area populated mostly by the Burmese gold prospectors moving up from the lowlands.
