KARENNI STATE – An official from the Karenni Coalition said that the junta council has started using MLRS in their offensives in Karenni State.
The junta council, suffering defeats in battles in the Karenni region, which is quite near to Nay Pyi Taw, is said to have started using its latest weapons in ground battles starting this week.
“Multiple Launching Rocket Systems started to be seen in the August 13 Demoso battle. And the ground forces also have advanced jammers (devices that cut the communication system) that are different from before,” explained an official of the Karenni Coalition.
In addition, on Wednesday morning (August 16), there is a battle going on in Demoso Township, but the location of the encounter was not disclosed due to the military situation.
The military council is aggressively attacking to control the main roads in Karenni State, such as Pekhon – Loikaw, Hsihseng – Loikaw, Loikaw – Shartaw and Demoso – Hpruso, as well as to recapture Maese,
As a result, there were many casualties among the junta council troops in the battles this week, and many weapons and ammunitions were seized by the Karenni Coalition in the battles of Hpasawng, Demoso and Hpruso.
Moreover, at least five soldiers from the Karenni Coalition also fell in the fighting.
