Fighting Continues in Northern Ye; Civilians Urged to Move with Caution

Fighting continues in the northern part of Ye Township, Mon State, and resistance forces have urged civilians to move and live cautiously due to ongoing military activity.

Clashes between the military council troops and joint resistance forces have been ongoing since October 10, after junta columns advanced into areas under the control of the revolutionary joint forces in northern Ye Township.

According to the Ramanaya Mon Army (RMA), the junta troops continued their offensive through October 17, shelling residential areas with heavy artillery.

“Since the junta battalions are recklessly firing heavy artillery shells into villages in northern Ye, we kindly urge local civilians to remain alert and exercise extreme caution in their movements,” the RMA stated on October 16.
