A member of the KNDF said that between 7:00 and 9:30 a.m.this morning, the SAC’s jet bombarded Nyaungwaing Ward, and Zaykone Ward, Mobye town.
It is reported that several places in Mobye town were shot seven times by a machine gun from an airplane, and some people, including
children in Paw Oo Ward, were seriously injured.
“It happened this morning. We were attacked 10 times using the air. Seven times of them were machine guns. The bomb was dropped
three times. They’re 500-pound bombs. We don’t know for sure the number of injuries
and casualties. There may be a lot. The Nyaungwine Monastery was also heavily damaged by the aerial bomb. The power lines near the monastery were also damaged,” said a KNDF member.
At around 7:00 pm yesterday, at least 9 military vehicles from Pin Laung arrived in Phekhon town and are preparing to attack the east side of Demoso.
“The military situation is critical. In the morning, they bombarded ten times on Mobye. Many people were injured. Now there are no airplanes. The battle may be today. It has been quiet recently. Just now at around 11 am, about 20 of armored and artillery vehicles from the Loikaw side are heading towards the Loikaw-Mobye road,” he said.
Currently, due to the tense military situation in Karenni State, a KNDF official has informed the local people not to travel through the Loikaw-Phekhon road and the Loikaw-Hsihseng road at all.
