A Karenni military source informed that the revolutionary forces are attacking Wanmalan camp of the junta council, one of the two remaining junta camps in Bawlakhae.
The Karenni Coalition captured three important camps of the junta council in Bawlakhae Township namely the Maesalaung Taung Camp, Yaykyaw Camp and Htoochaung Camp starting mid 2024.
Meanwhile, the junta council is desperately defending the two remaining camps: 12th mile camp and Wanmalan camp, heavily relying on airstrikes.
