NORTHERN SHAN STATE- It is reported that a convoy of more than 100 military vehicles coming from Meiktila, Tharsi, and Kalaw towns passed Aungpan town and headed towards the north of Shan through Pintaya- Lawksawk- Nawnghkio Road, on Saturday (October 27).
At around 12:30 p.m., the locals reportedly saw the military convoy, of more than 100 military vehicles with trunks covered in tarpaulin sheets, passing Aungpan Town.
“I saw the convoy at the exit of Aungpan Town. The cars were honking and driving fast. As it didn’t head towards Pin Laung, the convoy would go to Lawksawk through Heho road,” said a local.
Military convoys usually head towards Kayah and rarely use Aungpan-Pin Laung Road and Aungpan-Heho-Taunggyi Road. But since they are seen in Aungpan, the convoy is assumed to go towards Nawnghkio in northern Shan State via Heho- Lawksawk Road.
People close to the army said that since the convoy had not yet passed Pintaya, and possibly staying overnight at Heho Town after leaving Aungpan.
“Convoys going to Kayah (Karenni) will stay overnight at Teekyit and head back to Meiktila. The convoy passing Aungpan is not going to Kayah,” said the military source.
It is also reported that about 5 damaged military vehicles, came from Taunggyi passed Aungpan on the morning of October 27.
