The fall of Myawaddy was a major setback for the military as they took power from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi in 2021. The clashes, involving drone attacks from the Karen forces and air strikes by the Myanmar military, had subsided by Saturday noon, but police chief Phetcharat said he could still hear sporadic gunshots. He also confirmed that the Thai authorities would move the fleeing people into a safer zone.

“I do not desire to see any such clashes have any impact on the territorial integrity of Thailand and we are ready to protect our borders and the safety of our people. At the same time, we are also ready to provide humanitarian assistance if necessary,” wrote Thailand’s PM Srettha Thavisin.
