On the Ye–Thinbawzarap road, a Shwe Sin Sinkya passenger vehicle swerved into the oncoming lane and collided with members of a revolutionary force, killing one revolutionary force member, it is reported.

On the morning of October 16, near Wetkhami village in Thinbawzarap Township, a Shwe Sin Sinkya passenger minibus traveling from the direction of Ye town overtook a truck and collided with a motorcycle carrying two PDF members traveling close to the right side of the road, it is reported.

"It overtook a car and hit a motorcycle carrying PDF members coming from the other side. One died, and the other was seriously injured. That's why the driver has been detained; we don't know yet what the gate officials will do. I heard they are PDF comrades from the Peinnetaw village checkpoint," a driver said.

The motorcycle was sent flying by the collision with the car, and one of the two comrades was killed, it is reported. Revolutionary forces arrived at the scene, detained and took away the driver and conductor, and transferred 25 passengers to another vehicle to continue their journey, it is reported.
