Chindwin River ambushes

The Chindwin River ambushes are a series of ambushes conducted by the People's Defense Force (PDF) and local anti-junta militias against Myanmar Army supply boats traveling across the Chindwin. Initially, anti-junta forces relied on single-shot Tumi guns to ambush the boats. As the Myanmar civil war raged on, the PDF and allied local militias would eventually use automatic weapons and explosives to attack the boats.
