This GoPro-style footage shows members of a People's Defense Force unit ambushing a vehicle occupied by a pro-Junta police officer and militia member. The truck careens off the road after being hit by their fire, at which point the PDF fighters move in and finish them off. Viewer's discretion is advised.

This attack is reported to have occured in the Southern Shan state of Myanmar, where it was carried out by the "Joe Phyu Revolution Force." They wait in a ditch and ambush the truck as it passes. It is unclear how the PDF unit got the intel regarding where the targets would be. However, pro-Junta collaborators such as the two in the truck are especially hated by the anti-Junta fighters, and they make sure to confirm their kills. Video from Myanmar which shows visible targets and KIAs is exceedingly rare, which indicates the distaste the PDFs have for the people they deem to be traitors.
