Military attacks villages as Karen, Mon forces seize police station in Kawkareik Township
Junta shelling killed at least four civilians, including two children, and destroyed scores of houses on the border between Karen and Mon states this week, according to local sources and anti-junta fighters. Two women in Kawt Pauk village—in Karen State’s Kawkareik Township less than a mile from the state boundary—and two children in Dhamma Tha village—located in Mon State’s Kyaikmayaw Township—were killed in the artillery strikes on Sunday, according to a statement by the Lion Battalion, a force commanded by the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA). The junta’s shelling, which also caused major damage to at least two hundred civilian homes, was a response to attacks on a police station earlier the same day in Kawt Bein village, Kawkareik Township, some three miles northeast of Dhamma Tha. The Lion Battalion participated in the attack, along with other KNLA-commanded units. . .
