Since the morning of November 16, the junta army has been patrolling and shooting in a convoy of 13 vehicles, including armored tanks, in Thatthong Township.
The regime’s tank convoy opened fire with small arms for nearly 20 minutes, threatening the residents near Win Sein village, where the deputy battalion commander died.
