National Unity Government states military outpost seized by People’s Defense Force in Mogok

The National Unity Government (NUG) Ministry of Defence announced on Saturday that its armed wing, the People’s Defense Force (PDF), seized a regime outpost in Mogok Township of Mandalay Region during fighting with regime forces, which began on Nov. 30. 

Mogok residents told DVB that the PDF launched a “guerrilla style” attack against regime forces after the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) completed its withdrawal and handed over the town, as a part of a China-brokered ceasefire, to the regime on Nov. 28.

A statement from the NUG on Dec. 6 claimed that it had evacuated residents before the PDF attack began and is closely monitoring intermittent fighting with regime forces in Mogok.
