At least 10 regime troops including a battalion commander were killed by the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) during an intense clash in the Chin Shwe Haw area in Laukkai District in Shan State on Tuesday, said The Kokang, the media wing of the MNDAA.

A fierce clash broke out when 500 regime forces attempted to occupy an MNDAA strategic base on Nank Phar Mountain. In the clash, more than a dozen regime forces including three army officers were also injured.

After six hours of fighting, regime forces retreated from the area and many dead bodies of soldiers were abandoned at the clash site, The Kokang said.
