TANINTHARYI DIVISION – Tanintharyi People’s Defence Team (PDT) announced on Sunday that the Htonkhar – Mawdaung border trade route of Tanintharyi Township will be temporarily closed starting Sunday (July 16).
Terrorist junta troops launching an offensive onto the route on July 15 resulted in clashes against the revolutionary forces.
The announcement mentioned that the temporary closure of the route was in order to prevent harm to civilians as there is a possibility of clashes becoming more fierce.
Tanintharyi PDT also urged the people to pay attention to and comply with the announcement.
