SHAN STATE – The Pekhon People’s Defense Forces issued a statement on June 25 calling on the public not to travel to Pekhon and Moebye in southern Shan State as fighting in those areas has continued to escalate.
According to reports, the junta regime has stolen people’s property, gone on the offensive, and killed civilians who have returned home without cause as fighting intensified in the eastern areas of Pekhon and Moebye.
The statement urged the public to focus on their own safety, and battalions 3, 11, and 22 of the Karenni Nationalities Defense Force can be contacted in case of emergencies.
