• In Kayah or Karenni, Kayin, Sagaing and Shan North, there were still heavy battles between the junta armed forces and EAOs/ PDFs. Reportedly, both sides lost members.
• If the junta armed forces face a great loss in battles, they tend to set fire to houses and kill civilians. If such activities are widely known, there will be propaganda news full of lies in their newspaper. The junta armed forces set fire to Tantalan every now and then. They then blame PDFs for each fire. Local people took up arms in the revolution due to violent crackdowns on peaceful protests. It is out of the question if such people would conduct such violent activities against their own ethnic people in their area.
