KACHIN STATE- Residents said that the military council was firing heavy weapons towards the KIO/KIA (Kachin Independent Organization/ Kachin Independent Army) headquarters at around 10:30 p.m. on July 14th.
“We heard the weapons explosion. I didn’t know where to hide. It’s been 3 times,” said a local woman.
She said that she heard a loud explosion, but did not know where it happened.
“Yes. I heard it 3 times. I think it’s from the mountain side,” said a migrant worker in Laiza.
He said that the local people were scared and worried because the military council was firing heavy weapons.
A person close to the KIA said that the military council responded by firing at the KIA’s drone bombing to Khaya hill where the military council was stationed.
More than a week ago, the military council fired heavy weapons near Laiza.
Since July 3rd, the military council launched offensive almost every day near Laiza and Namsangyang, where the KIO/KIA headquarters is located.
