Myanmar Junta Steadily Regaining Control of Mandalay

The military regime has taken back control of all territories it had lost to the resistance in Madaya and Patheingyi townships in northern Mandalay.

They include the Phayaung Taung gold mine and nearby Alpha cement factory in Patheingyi as well as the Sedawgyi Dam on the border with Shan State, giving it full control of Madaya.

Observers believe that the next targets of the junta offensive will be Thabeikkyin Township, where many areas remain under resistance control, and Singu Township, currently controlled by the Mandalay People’s Defense Force (PDF).
