Yesterday, when the revolutionary joint forces attacked the town, they captured the town around noon. There are not many military council troops in the city. Knowing this, they held a city-conquering battle. Although the city was captured, the military group immediately launched a counter-offensive from the ground using excessive air support, and the revolutionary groups retreated from the city in the evening.
De Pe Yin is located in the lower part of Sagaing, and since there is not much military power in the city, it is easy for the revolutionary groups to capture it, but it is difficult to control it. Because the surrounding areas of the city are surrounded by military council troops. In addition, there is a need for ammunition on the side of the revolutionary forces. The groups in Sagaing can’t use weapons and ammunition as much as North Shan. So they had to leave the city in a short time. This kind of incident happened earlier this year in Kani town and Kolin town in the Sagaing region. According to the current situation, the local resistance forces in Sagaing Division are now able to fight for the capture of the city, but there are still difficulties in keeping the captured city from falling back under the control of the military council.
