The Karenni Joint Military Committee is investigating the shooting between the Pha Khon-based forces in southern Shan State, which resulted in the highest number of deaths among the rebel forces, Karenni Interim Administrative Council (IEC) Secretary (2) U Banyar Khun Aung said on April 27.
“Currently, the issue is being handled by the Karenni State Joint Military Command. We will only know more information after the military command handles it. We need to know clearly what the cause is,” he said.
On April 24, the leader of the Moebi Local PDF group, which is about 50 strong, was in a place outside Moebi town when the shooting occurred, and it was revealed that the clash occurred with the recently formed No. (1) Alpha Military Region (Moebi Region) unit.
A source close to the group told Myanmar Now that leader Ko Aung Min and his comrades died of gunshot wounds during the fighting. Two other sources said Ko Aung Min was among the nine dead.
