Intense clashes continued to occur in Myawaddy Township, Karen State on Thursday when Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) and allied resistance forces attacked junta forces of three military battalions attempting to raid the Lukhoe area, in territory of KNLA Brigade 6.

The combined resistance forces conducted artillery shelling and drone strikes to help their ground fighters, said Cobra Column, which joined the attack.

A junta soldier was injured seriously while a resistance fighter suffered minor injuries.

On the same day, another junta soldier was confirmed killed when snipers of the KNLA ambushed regime forces of Light Infantry Battalion 104, which has been attempting to raid the area of Taung Ni Village in the township for weeks.

A series of intense firefights—which have prompted the junta to call in air strikes—have been going on between regime forces and combined forces of the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and allied PDF groups in Banmauk Township, Sagaing Region since Tuesday, said Banmauk Revolution (BR), the media wing of township PDF groups.

On Thursday morning, clashes continued to erupt in the township and the junta used three fighter jets to bomb resistance forces at 12:30 p.m. On that afternoon, two other fighter jets also bombed the clash areas, the BR said.

Regime forces burned houses in Kyaukai Village in the township on Wednesday after a clash with the KIA and PDFs.

On that night, the KIA and PDF fighters raided the township police station in the town of Banmauk, reportedly injuring 14 junta police officers.

Chaung-U Revolution Army (CRA) claimed to have used land mines to ambush container vehicles that were reportedly transporting regime forces of military Division 33 from Sagaing Township to Monywa, Sagaing Region on Thursday afternoon while they were passing through Chaung-U Township.

In the ambush, two vehicles were hit by the blasts, the group said.

Following the mine ambushes, a shootout broke out between the resistance fighters and the regime ambush patrols. Resistance fighters escaped from the clash without any casualties. However, the military’s casualties are unknown.

Many junta soldiers were believed killed when ethnic Chin resistance fighters of Chin Defense Force-Mindat attacked an infantry battalion from close range in Mindat Township, Chin State on Wednesday morning, the group claimed.

After the attack, regime forces arbitrarily bombarded villages nearby using more than 20 artillery shells. A house was destroyed in the shelling.

Military regime pavilion bombed in Dawei

As a warning attack, the resistance group Guerrilla Dawei claimed that on Wednesday evening it bombed a pavilion built by the military regime on a strand in the town of Dawei in Tanintharyi Region for the Thidingyut Festival, using a remote-controlled bomb.

The resistance group said the military regime is using civilians as human shields to hold fake festivals. In order to avoid harming civilians, the group bombed the junta’s pavilion before the festival days, it said.

It appealed to civilians to avoid regime forces, and regime-controlled government departments and festivities, due to potential attacks.
