HURFOM: Intense fighting has erupted at Ya They Gu Hill in Myawaddy Township, Karen State, where Junta forces have been launching continuous airstrikes following heavy clashes with resistance forces.

According to local military sources, the battle began on October 30 when joint forces of the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) attacked Junta troops advancing into the Ya They Gu Hill area of the Lay Kay Kaw region. The Junta suffered casualties during the clash and later called in air support, using a Y-12 aircraft to bomb the surrounding area from around noon.

“A clash broke out between the Junta troops and resistance forces at Ya They Gu Hill. The Junta called in air support and dropped bombs over the Mae Wah Kee–Ya They Gu Hill area,” said a local source familiar with the fighting.

The situation in Myawaddy and nearby Kawkareik Townships remains volatile, with daily clashes continuing and the Junta deploying reinforcements to the front lines. Additional troops are being transported from Mawlamyine, Hpa-An, and Kyondo areas to replace units suffering heavy losses in the ongoing conflict.
