Fresh Clashes Reported Between Junta Soldiers & Rebels Near Thai-Myanmar border

Fresh clashes broke out between Myanmar’s Junta soldiers and armed rebels near the country’s border with Thailand. The clashes around Myanmar’s crucial trading town of Myawaddy were confirmed by the Thai Army. The clashes followed fierce fighting between the Junta soldiers and rebels who “targeted” the troops taking shelter under a bridge connecting Myanmar and Thailand. The fight forced Junta soldiers to withdraw from their positions in the town which enabled trade worth $1.1 billion in the last 12 months. Myanmar Police have moved around 2,000 people to safety in neighbouring Thailand which has now closed the bridge and has deployed soldiers on stand-by. Thailand PM Srettha Thavisin said he is closely monitoring the situation and that the country is ready to protect its borders and people. Myanmar has been reeling under severe crisis ever since the military Junta seized power in 2021 but it struggles to contain resistance from rebel groups.
