Myanmar Junta’s ‘Living Fence’ on Thai Border Falls to Karen Resistance

Karen resistance forces seized a supposedly impregnable regime outpost in Myawaddy Township, on the Myanmar-Thai border in Karen State, on Saturday, after around 100 defeated junta soldiers fled into Thailand.

The Ukayit Hta outpost had been encircled by the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA), People Defense Force (PDF), and allied resistance groups since early June.

It guarded a key road junction in Wawlay, Myawaddy Township, and came under the junta’s No. 13 Military Operation Command.
