Brave Warriors for Myanmar (BWM) said it had carried out an attack on the Magway Air Base in Myanmar’s Magway Region, using eleven 107mm rockets.
The Magway Air Force Base was struck in a coordinated attack with allied forces at 11:20 pm on 25 March.
The intended targets included oil tanks, bomb depots, aircraft depots, and air force personnel, a BWM official told Mizzima.
Explosions were reported within the air force base, and a steady number of ambulances moving in and out throughout the night suggested that at least some of the targets had been successfully struck.
The rapid pace of the attack may have damaged the internal systems of stored munitions, potentially rendering them unstable, he said. As a result, the bombs could detonate unpredictably during reinstallation on aircraft, posing a serious risk of secondary explosions and endangering military personnel.
The BWM official said the airstrikes targeted the Central Dry Zone, known as Anyar and regarded as the heart of the revolution, adding that the junta was attempting to counter intensified attacks in the region. He added that as the junta concentrates its efforts on Anyar, revolutionary groups must also provide effective support.
In a statement released on 26 March, BWM said the operation was conducted in coordination with allied groups, noting that the targeted Magway Air Base is a key military hub used to store and distribute aerial bombs produced by Defence Equipment Factory No. 21 to bases across the country.
The statement added that the strike on the air base, home to stationed aircraft, was carried out on behalf of the people and aimed to bolster the local revolution, even amid global and national oil shortages. The attack was intended to strengthen popular resistance and support revolutionary forces, countering actions that targeted civilians and insurgents.
BWM said it will continue efforts to undermine the junta’s air force, leveraging the global oil shortage as a strategic advantage to advance the revolutionary cause.
The attack marked BWM’s 53rd operation and was conducted in collaboration with No More Dictatorship (NMD-PDF), Infinity (Anyar), Justice Brothers Force, Daung Sit Aung Group, and Myaing Pa Ka Pha. A BWM official extended special thanks to the local groups that supported the strike on Magway Air Force during its first challenging operation.
