Fighting is again underway in Intaw town, near Pinyabu town, which is occupied by the revolutionary forces in Upper Sagaing Region. The fighting in Intaw town, which had been quiet for the past month, has now intensified again. The military junta continues to resist from the last defensive position in the town, the Japan Cave. Previously, more than 300 people were held hostage in that camp, and now it is known that many have escaped. If the camp is taken, it will be Intaw town.
The military council has resumed its offensive against the TLNA at the Pyin Oo Lwin and Naung Cho border. A large number of forces have also been added to the Taung Kham area. There are conditions in which the military council may launch a counterattack in that area.
