The junta army, instead, doubles up sending new reinforcements to the territory controlled by the KNU’s Brigade 6.
Today, hundreds of travellers are unable to continue as their journey stalled in the middle of Wa Lay – Kawkareik – Myawaddy Asia highway connecting to Thai border through Karen State.
Our source says fighting is expected to be intensified as Myanmar military junta has sent huge reinforcements for the last five days in defiance of the directive issued by Brigade 6 of KNLA.
The airstrike raided by the junta helicopter over the Kyaik Kyi village in Kya Inn Saik Kyi Township of Karen State has reportedly caused damaged and injured some civilians as all villagers flee for the safety.
It is difficult to calculate the full extent of damage caused by the airstrike according to our ground source.
