KARENNI STATE – A local resident mentioned that the junta council troops have strictly inspected in Loikaw township, Karenni state with the accusations that the members of PDF are in Loikaw town.
The atrocious junta council troops repeatedly checked along YGM (Lab Mee Rain), Mee Thet Kone, the minister housing and Ottayar Yone in Loikaw town.
A Loikaw local mentioned that “there are many junta troops everywhere in the town. Nobody knows what kind of news they have, but they get their guns ready. At the moment, we haven’t heard any news about abduction. It can also be to extort money.”
Moreover, more security posts were assigned at the governmental offices downtown.
A local said that the junta council continuously reinforced its troops to Loikaw town for both air and ground forces. Through Loikaw, the fascist junta council sent its troops to the Karenni region where the intense battles are breaking out.
The locals are worried the junta council would use Loikaw as the back camp of the Karenni front line by continuously reinforcing its troops to Loikaw.
