According to local sources and media reports, several junta offices in Karen State's Payathonzu town burned down Saturday night after being targeted in arson attacks by an area resistance force.
There was fighting between the newly formed Kawthoolei Army and junta troops in Shwe Aye Myaing Village, near the Ukrihta military outpost, in Karen State's Myawaddy District at 4:00 p.m. on 27 July.
The Karen National Union (KNU) and Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) announced that they were opposed to the newly formed Kawthoolei Army and expelled its leader Saw Nerdah Mya from the KNU.
The Karen National Union has dismissed Major General Saw Nerdah Mya as the head of one of its armed wings in response to the deaths of 25 men in May last year.
