During the fighting, the junta fired artillery into Htimuhta and Nupo villages, causing civilian casualties and damage to structures. Around 200 residents from the two villages subsequently fled to Falu Village, located south of Myawaddy Town. During the clashes, the junta’s ground forces were surrounded, prompting them to retaliate with artillery on nearby villages. Currently, around 200 people are seeking shelter in Falu, Minletpan, and Lay Kay Kaw, while the number of those evacuated to other villages remains unknown,” said an administration official from Falu. A junta column of around 100 men advanced into the Thingannyinaung Village Tract, but the KNLA-PDF coalition trapped it and blocked it.
