The Karen National Union (KNU) claimed that it killed eight Myanmar military personnel before it seized control of the Kuu Thay Soe outpost in Kyaukkyi Township of Nyaunglebin District, Bago Region, on Sunday.
“We successfully captured the outpost. It had been under the Burma Army’s military occupation for nearly 50 years,” the KNU said in its statement released on Jan. 9. The KNU armed wing, the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) Brigade 3, led the offensive against the Kuu Thay Soe military outpost on Dec. 31.
