SHAN STATE – Two junta militia backup members were killed during the northern Hsihseng Battle, and comrades confiscated illegal drugs and some ammunition, said Khun Rainyan, an official of PNLA.
On February 15, the PNLA attacked the junta column that had ambushed the revolutionary comrades. “At least two junta members were killed and the junta troops carried them. We found junta council uniforms, two large packs of illegal drugs, two small RPG grenades, and around 79 rounds of ammunition,” said Khun Rainyan.
During the recent battles, PNLA comrades confiscated illegal drugs from the junta council soldiers. “The junta soldiers might have been forced to the frontlines by using illegal drugs,” he said.
PNLA had controlled Hsihseng Town at the end of January; however, the junta council soldiers and their backup members are attempting to recapture it, and the battles are intensifying.
