The military council has recaptured Thabeik Kyin Township, Mandalay Region. The military council forces that were hiding in the northern part of Thabeik Kyin Township have reinforced their forces and advanced towards the city, surpassing the areas controlled by the PDF groups. The PDF groups believe that giving back the city just over a week after the military council’s offensive began is too lax. At present, the PDF forces are still in control of the areas where the gold mines are located, but it is not certain. Losing Thabeik Kyin Township, where the gold mines are located, is a concern for the PDF groups.
