As predicted, the army column that marched from Myawati to provide reinforcements could not pass Kokraket and could not advance at the foot of Dona Mountain. The revolutionary joint forces retreated from Kokkraet, a flat area, and attacked from the foothills of Dona Mountain, so the column faced many casualties. There has been a standoff there for about a week now, and the KNU has announced that more than a hundred rebels have been killed in the fighting these days.
On the Kachin side, more than 50,000 Lakh MMK, KIA was seized from the military council battalion camp stationed in Sejel town. At the current price, it is about half a million dollars. The money was border trade tax money, and the rebels who fled to China tried to take it with them, but China did not accept it, so KIA got it. If the Karen people in Myawati were united, there would have been a chance to save three or four times more money than now. But because the groups were divided in one city, the military council was allowed to take them out by air from the Thai side.
