KAREN STATE – It was reported that the terrorist junta army bombarded with its fighter jets over Aye Thu Kha Village, near Sein Lei Myaing Highway Complex in Myawaddy Town of Myawaddy Township, and Infantry Battalion – 275 also launched artillery attacks, according to the Myawaddy based military news source.
“The junta army started the attacks on the afternoon of April 9. Infantry Battalion – 275 started firing artillery shells. The junta fighter jets bombarded the surrounding areas of Aye Thu Kha Village. Infantry Battalion – 275 is located outside of Myawaddy Town, near Aye Thu Kha Village. It was said that the residential houses were on fire, but the details are not clear. I heard the sound of shootings,” said the new source from Myawaddy.
Banks, gold shops, businesses and the Myo Ma Market in Myawaddy Town have been closed since yesterday, April 8, and will continue to be closed today, April 9. Telecommunication and internet services of Myanmar Service Providers were out of service and the locals are mainly using Thai Service Providers. It was said that the commodity prices were soaring.
“The banks, gold shops, and Myo Ma Market were closed yesterday (April 8). They are still closed today (April 9). There was no internet connection, so the flow of digital money was interrupted. We could exchange money where the places of Thai telecommunication services were available. But the exchange rate went up. The commodity prices hiked up by two times. The price of raw rice is about 7,000 MMK per pyi (2.56 L). Residents have been running away since a few days ago,” said a local resident.
