KARENNI STATE – The battles related to the “1111 Operation” are intensifying along Naung Woo, Ban Mauk, and Nan Phaw Mu Villages, according to Karenni Nationalities Defence Force (KNDF) Battalion 3 and local military sources.
Comrades are defending against the advances of junta forces and PNO militia thugs. “The battle is occurring between Pin Laung and Pekhon Township, with over 200 troops involved from the junta side,” stated a source from Karenni.
For this reason, KNDF has warned the public against using land routes or water routes and advised them to seek refuge in safe locations. “Since March 10, over 1,000 civilians from four villages have fled,” mentioned a member of a charity group in Pin Laung Township.
KNDF and allied revolutionary forces pledge to continue defending against junta offensives in Karenni, as stated in their official statement.
