KARENNI STATE – A Karenni Army (KA) military official said “In Shadaw township, Karenni state, the terrorist army’s Light Infantry Battalion (LIB-519) transporting ration was intercepted and attacked, killing many soldiers and large amount of weapons and ammunition including heavy weapons were seized.”
The LIB-519, came from southern Shan State to fill up the ration to 2888 regiment and 3222 hill was attacked by KA joint forces on 23rd August afternoon, in Shadaw township, killed too many terrorist soldiers and over 20 weapons including heavy weapons and a lot of ammo were seized.
An official from Karenni military affairs said “There was a warehouse where temporary food was stored, they are 2888 and 3222 camps. In the past we can cut off so that food could not be sent. At that time, we seized food and weapons, I don’t know exactly, maybe 4 or 5 died. It happened again in the same place where the battle took place. We intercepted the column coming to send supplies from the Shan State side and we got more than 20 weapons. There are also pistols included. I don’t know how many of them died.”
Among the seized weapons are 14 small arms, one machine gun and a lot of ammunition, including 4 motors. Due to the large number of casualties among terrorist soldiers, there was air strike from junta between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. During the attack, the Karenni KA troops were reported to have succeeded without being harmed.
An official of the KA said “LIB-519 is from Shan State, either 519 or 334. They are sending rations to the camp in front of the headquarters since the beginning of his year. So far, the food wasn’t able to send, so a temporary camp has been set up. Now that column was intercepted, the exact number of casualties is not known yet. Because of heavy casualties, they use air support. The battle was on the 23rd afternoon, the junta’s fighters came between 3 and 4 p.m. There is no casualties on our side. We got the information that they will come, so we intercepted. It’s between the BP9 and Met Lon Yoe, that’s west of Mae Hong Hsong.”
