The Myanmar military has reportedly suffered further heavy casualties during fierce clashes with the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) in multiple locations across Kachin State on Thursday.
Fighting between the KIA and the regime’s soldiers has intensified in Momauk, Mohnyin, Bhamo and Waimaw Townships since last week.
KIA Information Officer Colonel Naw Bu claimed that the KIA witnessed more than 30 soldiers killed and 80 seriously injured after regime fighter jets mistakenly dropped bombs and fired guns at their own troops in Momauk Township.
