On March 2, around 200 regime forces from military battalions from Yesagyo and nearby Pakokku townships attacked and raided Myay Zon Taw Village in the Yay Lel Kyun Island area between the Chindwin and Irrawaddy rivers, according to local resistance groups.


The regime forces burned down houses for three days while taking up a position in the village from March 2 to 4.
