Junta forces reportedly looted and set fire to the homes of administrators appointed by the Karen National Union (KNU) in Theinzayat, following clashes with KNU troops on Sunday, according to local sources.

Troops from the junta’s 77th Light Infantry Division have been conducting raids in the area since February 9, leading to confrontations with resistance forces in at least two villages. Residents of these villages have been displaced due to the ongoing violence.
