The Burmese Army shot dead one soldier of the KNU/KNLA Peace Council yesterday morning and arrested six.
At about 9 am, Burmese Army troops surrounded the KPC soldiers led by Lt. Tae Khee in Palawtapo area, near Phaluu village in Myawaddy township in Karen State. The junta’s forces started shooting. One Karen soldier was killed in the clash and six were arrested.
“I heard that six soldiers under the command of Lt. Tae Khee were arrested. One was shot down by the Burmese Army troops. But, I have not received details about the clash,” Brigadier Gen. Saw T. Mathi of the KNU/KNLA Peace Council said.
“Burmese Army troops were going to attack Wor Lay. So, we ambushed them along the way to Wor Lay. We heard that they (junta’s forces) rounded up soldiers from the KPC at Palawtapo, near Phaluu village. The unit of KPC has a few soldiers there,” a KNLA soldier said.
Currently, the Burmese Army’s IB 62 under MOC 8 has been patrolling the Phaluu area. On November 24, the battalion fired artillery shells on the way to Wor Lay and around the area because the DKBA Brigade 5 and KNU forces obstructed the Burmese Army, according to the KNLA soldier.
Lt. Tae Khee is not included among the dead and detained soldiers of the KPC forces. Karen Information Center tried to contact Gen. Saw Htein Maung, the chairman of the KPC, and Gen. Saw Yin Nu but failed.

Junta to set up more artillery units around Shan, Wa bases
The military junta is reportedly going to set up two more artillery units in Shan State South between the Shan State Army (SSA) North bases in the west and United Wa State Army (UWSA) bases in the east, according to informed sources from Shan State South.
One is to be located in Mongzang, Monghsu township, southeast of the SSA First Brigade’s Headquarters Wanhai and another further south where the former SSA North’s 7th Brigade headquarters at Kali, Kunhing township, is located.
The director of the Burma Army Artillery (unidentified) accompanied by Commander of Taunggyi based Eastern Region Command Brig-Gen San Oo, were reported to have arrived at Kunhing on Tuesday evening, 30 November and continued to Mongzang.
The commander was escorted by some 100 Burma Army troops plus 3 squads of local militia men from Loipha, former headquarters of SSA’s 7th Brigade that transformed itself into Nyapyitaw’s Home Guard Force (HGF) in April. Continue reading “Junta to set up more artillery units around Shan, Wa bases”
