In this battle to capture Natogyi, a revolutionary stronghold in central Myanmar, over 30 people were killed, three were captured alive, and 27 weapons of various kinds were seized from the coup army.

Starting on the morning of August 10th, Aye Kyaung, the Construction Office, the Court, the General Administration Department Office, and the eastern checkpoint of the town, where the army was deployed, were simultaneously attacked by five columns.
