Fierce fighting is underway between the military and the AA in three military defense equipment manufacturing plants (MAFs) in Magway and Bago Regions. They are fighting at MAFs (6), (14) and (24), with the fighting at 6 and 14 being particularly intense. The military is also using thousands of troops and air support to defend. It is believed that the AA and allied forces are intensifying their military operations to completely capture MAFs (6) and (14). The AA and allied forces have been threatening MAF factories since April. The Council Army has 25 MAF factories. The MAFs have now reached some of these factories.
