The junta suffered heavy casualties and the capture of nearly 30 troops in clashes with People’s Defense Forces (PDF) in Katha Township in northern Sagaing Region over the weekend.
Fierce clashes broke out when around 200 junta troops from the Katha town-based Light Infantry Battalion advanced on rural parts of the township controlled by resistance forces.
“The fighting was quite fierce,” a member of the Katha PDF said. “It went on for a whole day and the following afternoon with continuous artillery strikes. We captured injured soldiers as well as their weapons, and some surrendered to us.”
