End of Myanmar Army: DI Factories Under Siege?

         (Based on staff post from the MYANMAR NOWMEDIA on 25 February 2025.)      

In the early morning of one day in January 2025, more than twenty lightly-armed Burmese PDF youths in camo-uniforms and carrying some 107mm shock rockets were trekking through the heavy jungle on the border of Chin State and Magway Division inside Myanmar.

Each shock rocket weighing nearly 20 kgs and the PDF youths alternatively carrying each of the eight heavy rockets were on a secret mission targeting the DI-21 (Ka-pa-sa 21) compound at thirty miles from Seik-phyu Town in the District of Pa-khoke-ku of Magway Division.

From their base camp inside Magway Division, they had to travel nearly fifteen days first by boats, then by cars, and last on foot to reach their target of DI-21. On January-18 they reached their target and later launched a deadly barrage of shock rockets into the factory compound.
