The military council column marching towards Myawati town was armed with heavy weapons, Due to the excessive use of air support, the revolutionary coalition had to retreat to the east of Kok Krait. Before the arrival of the convoy, the revolutionary groups controlled about 70 percent of the city of Kokrat. We had to fight for more than four months to control it. Now, due to a lack of weaponry, we had to retreat temporarily. Because Kokkraet is a flat area, it is not suitable for defense, so it is expected that the revolutionary groups will resist the military council column from Dona Hill in the east of the city. As a military council column, after crossing that mountain, it will be able to approach the city of Myawati. Myawady and Kokkraet are about 26 miles apart.
The rebels, who are stranded under the Thai-Myanmar border bridge in Myawati, are digging trenches and waiting for reinforcements. Karen BGF teams are patrolling in Myawady town. It is known that the BGF is supporting the helpless rebels with food and water. The Karen BGF group used to be a group under the Military Council. Currently, the KNU-affiliated groups have not yet entered Myawati. That’s why the rebels under the bridge have been able to stay calm until now.
