The military council troops that had been advancing to reinforce Hpakant have finally reached Hpakant. The military council troops, which had been about 600 strong, were reduced to about 100 strong when they reached Hpakant due to the KIA’s interceptions. About ten locals were captured on the way as human shields. One of the military council’s offensives that I mentioned the other day has achieved its goal. The military council’s offensives in other areas have not been particularly notable.
