The KNU announced last week that it had attacked a dictatorship camp close to the town, and that it had ordered about 500 surveillance officers to retreat, along with their families.

The war has already lost control of the regions that border Myanmar with Bangladesh, China, and India, and it has also experienced a significant decline in skilled personnel, which has resulted in the first draft being introduced.

Political analyst Than Soe Naing predicted that” the resistance forces might soon attack major cities across Myanmar,” adding that after the most recent takeover of Myawaddy, the resistance troops would reportedly control almost all border trading articles.

According to police national Borwornphop Soontornlekha, the emigration director in Tak, the state where Mae Sot is located, citizens who were arriving in Thailand from Myanmar in large numbers were allowed to enter the place.

According to Borwornphop, “each moment there are roughly 2, 000 individuals who cross into Mae Sot from Myawaddy, but in the last three times that number has been almost 4, 000,” he told Reuters.

Families with young children were in the long lines at one border passing near Mae Sot on Thursday as Thai military checked the sacks and items of those cross.

Thai military personnel are using military vehicles with roof-mounted machine weapons to increase security on their side of the border.

Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, who earlier told Reuters the Myanmar junta was “losing power” and pushed to open talks with the plan, said on Thursday the current fighting may never seep into his country’s airspace.

According to its foreign minister, Thailand is able to take up to 100 000 people who have been displaced by the issue in Myanmar and remain neutral.

According to the civil society organization Karen Peace Support Network, at least 2, 000 people have been displaced in Myanmar as a result of the most recent round of fighting between the rebels and the defense.
