The Battle of Myin Thar was an engagement between the Myanmar
SAC junta and anti-coup forces in the village of Myin Thar, Gangaw Township, Magway Region.[3]
Tatmadaw forces raided the village two days after the
National Unity Government called for a "
people's defensive war" against the military.[4] Yaw militias armed with improvised black powder rifles and grenade launchers heavily resisted until heavy artillery forced them to withdraw.[5]
Numerous civilians, including a 50-year-old paralyzed man, were massacred by the Tatmadaw.[5]
