According to local sources, a shootout occurred near Junction Mawtin shopping center in Lanmadaw Township, Yangon, between junta-affiliated police forces and members of the pro-military Pyusawhti militia group.
The incident took place around 8 PM on June 13. Pyusawhti members allegedly attacked a police officer with knives and clubs after arriving by car. As police reinforcements arrived, gunfire ensued. Four Pyusawhti members were arrested, and one police officer reportedly sustained serious injuries.
Some local residents claimed the clash started due to a woman, romantically involved with a police officer, allegedly stealing money, which led to the confrontation.
A similar incident occurred on May 25 at Kamaryut Township police station, where Pyusawhti members opened fire following a dispute related to the seizure of an unregistered motorcycle by the police.
3. PDF and ethnic armed groups expected to defeat military regime through “Guerrilla Warfare Version 2.0”
June 14
According to an analysis from PDF Insight, the People’s Defense Forces (PDF) under the National Unity Government (NUG), together with ethnic revolutionary forces, are now adopting a new guerrilla warfare strategy dubbed “Guerrilla Warfare Version 2.0” to defeat the military dictatorship.
This strategy, described by some military analysts as “Version 2.0,” is designed to overcome limitations in resources and international diplomacy.
Instead of traditional armed rebellion structures, the new strategy focuses on forming small, well-trained elite guerrilla units. These units will combine military, political, psychological, and economic tactics.
Each unit would consist of only 30 to 50 members and be equipped with vehicles and communication devices for mobility. The structure allows them to strike swiftly and retreat efficiently, operate semi-independently under centralized command, and adapt to real-time ground conditions.
The goal is to translate military successes into political victories, cut off the junta’s resources, reduce international support for the regime through economic and diplomatic pressure, and establish independent trade routes within resistance-held territories.
Forming large military units requires significant time and resources and may risk greater civilian impact. Therefore, the analysis recommends relying on elite guerrilla squads for operations, supported by the broader, less-equipped resistance troops.
Given their small size, these units are harder for the junta to detect and easier to reposition. Once formed, multiple such units can be deployed across regions and districts for sudden attacks, easing logistical and manpower burdens associated with maintaining large battalions.
The analysis notes that this strategy draws inspiration from successful modern warfare examples, such as the Taliban in Afghanistan, North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and Ukrainian tactics in the current Ukraine-Russia war. However, it emphasizes that success in Myanmar will depend on the practical implementation of the strategy, given the country’s unique political and economic context.
