Fifteen junta troops including a major as well as two resistance fighters were killed in an intense clash in Myawaddy Township, Karen State on Tuesday when the junta attempted to take back its base on Lat Khat Taung mountain, said Cobra Column.
People’s Defense Force groups and the Karen National Liberation Army, the armed wing of the Karen National Union, jointly attacked and seized the junta base on July 21.
Since then, the junta has made several attempts to retake its base.
