Speaking to Myitkyina News Journal, Colonel Naw Bu, spokesperson for the Kachin Independence Organization/Army (KIO/KIA), stated:
“At the moment, no side has firm control over the area. Sometimes the junta troops pull back, sometimes our forces withdraw. The situation around Waingmaw (Law Man) remains tense and fluid.”
