This video is a montage of footage, depicting People's Defense Force (PDF) fighters attacking a walled administrative building and its guard force in the Sagaing region of Myanmar. This is part of an ongoing siege of government forces inthe region.

The clip begins with PDF fighters staging for the attack, climbing over a perimeter wall. The PFF-typical opening RPG shot occurs at 0:21. At 0:27, we see a machine gun team in action, before the footage cuts back to action at a perimeter wall. 0:57 cuts back to the machine gun team as they reload their PKM. 01:13 shows PDF fighters firing indescriminately over the wall, though I can't guess what they imagine to hit at those angles.

We get a second RPG shot at 01:50, with the backblast rocking the cameraman. At 01:54, we see a more human side of the conflict as the PDFs are given food by apparent locals.
