KARENNI (Kayah) STATE – Karenni military sources said that a battle is going on in Loikaw Town.
On the morning of September 18, the military council army and the Karenni joint army were exposed at the exit of Loikaw City.
It’s been since around 9 o’clock. The military council side is providing support with heavy weapons. The details are not yet known,” a Karenni military source said.
Similarly, a resident of Loikaw town informed that the military council troops were active near the village of NwarLaWo, near the exit of Loikaw city.
“I heard the sound of five heavy weapons. I also saw some military vehicles going,” he said.
The village of NwarLaWo is located on the Mobye-Loikaw road and is a place where military council troops are often intercepted and attacked.
In the last week of July, when the Military Council battalions in Shan State were reinforcing their forces in Karenni, at least 20 soldiers of the Military Council were killed, and the Karenni joint forces were able to confiscate eight weapons and ammunition.
