Fighting in northern Kawkareik Township, Karen State, and 500-pound bombs are being dropped by aircraft as casualties on the military side continue, a Karen revolutionary force source said. On the morning of November 13, fierce fighting broke out between the military commission and the KNLA joint forces in Naung Kaing village, Hti Po San village, and Mih Pha Hle village on the old Myawaddy-Kawkareik Dawna mountain road in northern Kawkareik Township, with heavy casualties on the military commission side.
“Now, four 500-pound bombs have been dropped from the air twice. It is reported that they have exploded in Mi Pha Lai village. The bombs are being dropped because the army has suffered many casualties. Hundreds of soldiers are stationed in the areas of Naung Kai and Thi Po San in the north of Kawkareik. The other day, more than 60 bombs were dropped by Y12 aircraft. Today, the situation is getting worse, so we have called in jet fighters. The army is working hard to take back the old Myawaddy road from Aok Bo Te, so they are dropping bombs from the air,” said a Karen source.
Since early October, the Military Commission junta and the DKBA have launched a three-pronged offensive to control the old Myawaddy-Kawkareik Dawna mountain road and villages in the north of Kawkareik. The KNLA has been attacking the military in three lines to control the old Myawaddy-Kawkareik Dawna mountain road and villages in the north of Kawkareik. The KNLA has been attacking the military in three lines, causing many casualties. Therefore, the military commission is continuing to send reinforcements from Kyongdo town and continue to attack, resulting in continued fierce fighting.
