People's Defense Force (PDF) resistance fighters launched a coordinated assault on the Myanmar junta's 73rd Battalion base in Zayatkyi town, Bago region, this morning, February 4, 2026, according to conflict monitor Thomas V. Linge. Fighters took over several positions before retreating, as reported in his X post at approximately 2:00 PM UTC. The attack occurred during the reporting window from 1:46 PM to 2:46 PM UTC, with Linge stating the assault happened "this morning."

The outlet reported this victory as a major blow to the junta in an X post shared within the window. This Zayatkyi assault follows heavy clashes between junta forces and PDF groups in Pauk township, Magway region, reported earlier today by Thomas V. Linge, confirming ongoing resistance operations against the military junta since the 2021 coup.
