Resistance Forces March Into Katha on the Irrawaddy

Resistance forces have entered Katha on the Irrawaddy River in Sagaing Region, defying heavy artillery fire and airstrikes from the junta.

Katha Township on the border between Sagaing and Kachin State was included in Phase One of the junta-organized election.

But even as the regime was counting votes on Sunday, resistance groups launched attacks against regime bases at the town’s eastern entrance and the junta’s Light Infantry Battalion 309 headquarters (LIB 309).
