The military council and the KNU are fighting fiercely these days in Myawati and Kokkraet. According to the latest news, the Revolutionary Joint Forces have completely captured the army’s base strategic camp between Kok Krait and Myawati, and more than 600 soldiers, including army family members, have surrendered. The camp, which has been stationed by the army for 56 years, was attacked yesterday morning and was captured this afternoon. Being a strategic base, weapons, Many small arms, and ammunition were captured.
The surrender of the entire Thankan Nyinnaung strategic camp is the largest surrender of military council troops in Karen State, and it can be said that this is the second largest mass surrender after more than 2,000 surrendered in Shan North Lokai.
Myawati, a border trading town located adjacent to the east of Thankan Nyingnaung, is a bit active due to the fighting. The military council has cut the phone and internet lines in Myawady town, and they only use the phone lines from the Thai side. There is still a military council battalion near Myawati city and the military camps near the city have been destroyed, so I think the war will come to Myawati town soon.
