A clash took place at around 8am in Thayet Chaung Township’s Taung Pyauk village under the control of the Karen National Liberation Army’s (KNLA) fourth brigade and lasted only around 15 minutes, a member of the local People’s Defence Force (PDF) said on the condition of anonymity.

He said that three junta soldiers were injured, one critically. The clash, he explained, broke out after PDF and KNLA forces spotted regime troops marching from the occupied village of Win Ka Hpaw towards Taung Pyauk, in KNU-controlled territory.
