This combat footage depicts "Cobra Column" anti-junta insurgent/resistance units seizing a police station in Myanmar.

Footage begins from the perspective of an anti-junta fighter ("the subject") carrying an RPG. He and several other insurgents advance on what appears to be an outbuilding of a police station, questioning the occupants. At approximately 0:25 seconds, a rifle is taken from one of the occupants, ostensibly police officers, which prompts the insurgents to question other bystanders. At 0:54, the insurgents take fire from a small white building inside the station's perimeter. After several cuts in the footage, 01:21 shows the subject firing the RPG at a building behind the one where the rifle was seized. 01:38 shows the subject firing a rifle down the street in full-auto; his target is unclear. 2:02 shows the subject firing a handgun until he is supplied with an RPG by another fighter. He fires the RPG across the street, in the direction of the building he targeted with the first RPG. 02:20 features a third RPG round fired, interspersed with rifle fire. 02:31 appears to depict aftermath, with the police station's generator being set ablaze.
