This footage, provided by a local PDF unit, shows their element ambushing and destroying a vehicle carrying a pro-Junta militia member and an administrator for the Junta’s regime. This is the latest in a series of highly-publicized strikes against collaborators in Myanmar.

The video shows a white sedan being ambushed in the city of Shwebo, Myanmar. It is located in Myanmar’s Sagaing region. The passengers include a Junta administrator, and a ranking member of the Pyusawthi. Also spelled Pyu Saw Htee, these are paramilitary units that support the Junta, not unlike the Loyalist paramilitaries in Northern Ireland. In a similar fashion the People’s Defense Forces and Pyusawthi have a heated disdain for each other.

Given what appears to be an ongoing campaign to record and publicize the assassinations of Junta officials and collaborators, one would think they would learn not to ride in cars with one another (link NSFW), but apparently the lesson is still being learned.
