๐ฉ๐ฉ 1. Military Junta’s Continuous Shelling of Mobye Town with Heavy Artillery
January 14
From this morning (January 14) until midday, the military junta has been shelling Mobye Town with heavy artillery, targeting specific areas, as reported by People's Spring.
The Mobye Rescue Team (MRT) has also confirmed that Mobye, located at the border of Shan and Karenni States, is under continuous shelling by heavy artillery. MRT has urged the public traveling along the Mobye-Loikaw main road to exercise extreme caution.
A local Karenni resident told People’s Spring:
“Since around 7 a.m., artillery shells have been fired from Loikaw. As of now (11:30 a.m.), the shelling continues in the direction of Mobye. However, we haven't heard any signs of an actual battle.”
Karenni military sources speculate that these heavy artillery attacks by the junta may be an intimidation tactic to disrupt the successful celebration of Kayar Day scheduled for January 15.
“Earlier this morning (around 1 a.m.), there was an airstrike east of Phekhon. Now, they’re firing artillery shells from Loikaw, which we believe is meant to intimidate us,” one source stated.
The junta’s offensive to reclaim Mobye, a gateway into Karenni State, has lasted for approximately two months, with the Karenni Joint Forces firmly resisting their advance.
