HURFOM: At about 6 am on October 20, 2023, an armed clash took place between the military junta and the joint revolutionary forces for nearly five hours in Kyone Long (new) village, Ye Township, Mon State.
The revolutionary forces attacked the military gate located at the Ye Bridge and the military responded with indiscriminate artillery attacks targeting the village, forcing residents to flee.
“The armed clash broke out from 6 am and continued until 10 am in Kyone Long (new) village. The military launched about 50 artillery attacks. The villagers were frightened and ran away. They fled to Wel Poung village seeking safe shelter,” said a Ye resident.
One villager fleeing his home was killed by an artillery attack.
“After hearing the sound of artillery gunfire, he tried to run from his home. A piece of artillery shell hit his pelvic area and he was killed,” said the resident.
After the armed clash, the military junta closed the Ye Bridge and tightened the security in the nearby area.
“They’ve closed the bridge. We don’t know when it will reopen again. Now, every villager must be careful with their comings and goings,” said a resident.
