PDF resistance fighters repeatedly launched ambushes on a 28-boat junta convoy

Myanmar 🇲🇲: PDF resistance fighters repeatedly launched ambushes on a 28-boat junta convoy as it was making its way up the Chindwin river.

By the time the convoy arrived in Homalin, it contained only 23 ships, meaning five had been sunk along the way. pic.twitter.com/GlNCegxMHJ

There are also smaller Local Defense Forces (LDFs) and People’s Defense Teams (PaKhaPha/PDTs, but the PDF operates under joint commands between several long-standing ethnic rebel groups and the NUG.
