Three junta troops and a mutineer from Myanmar’s army died in a shootout in Tamu, Sagaing Region, on Tuesday night, according to residents.
The mutineer from Myanmar’s military, Ko Aung Aung, was providing security for a protest camp near Kuntaung Bridge when the security forces approached at around 7.30 pm on Tuesday.
“Shooting erupted and he died,” said a Tamu resident.
Following the shooting, members of the Tamu Security Group, a civilian resistance group which opposes military rule, used bombs against the security forces at an India-Myanmar friendship construction site, leaving three troops dead.
