The 2021 Mandalay Boarding House Raid occurred on 22 June 2021, when the Tatmadaw raided a former boarding house which was being used as a safehouse for the Mandalay People's Defense Force. According to military sources such as Myawaddy TV, Tatmadaw forces killed four PDF fighters, arrested eight others, and seized various weapons. The military also claimed that a white car occupied by four guerrillas conducted a failed ambush attempt before all of them were killed when they crashed into a transformer.
However, the PDF claimed that only six of their members were arrested by the Tatmadaw while eight soldiers died.
