Quick Glance: Refugees Flee Violence in Southeastern Myanmar
  • Thousands of people from Myanmar’s Kayin (Karen) State have fled to Thailand to escape the fighting between the junta and ethnic Karen troops.

  • The Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) captured the last military outpost in Myawaddy, leading to retreat and reinforcement by junta forces.

  • The battles intensified, causing an influx of refugees crossing the Moei River into Thailand, with Thai authorities offering humanitarian aid.

  • Thailand is fortifying its border defenses and providing assistance to refugees as the situation remains tense along the border.
