HURFOM: On April 21, 2023, the military junta cut off all telecommunications in Three Pagoda Pass (TPP), Kyarinnseikyi Township, in Karen State. TPP is a border trade town located on the Thai-Burma border.

Explosions happen frequently in Three Pagoda Pass with revolutionary forces repeatedly attacking government offices and police stations.
“We can access a weak signal from the MPT operator but it’s just for a while and then the signal disappears. Other operators are completely cut off,” said a resident from Three Pagoda Pass.
Three Pagoda Pass is under martial law and the flow of goods is regularly interrupted. Local residents have suffered and many businesses have been forced to close.
