Villagers in Kyaukme Township are trapped in the middle of fighting between Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS) and combined forces: Shan State Progress Party (SSPP) and Ta’ang National Liberation Army.

The same day in Hsipaw Township, villagers fled fighting between RCSS and SSPP. According to a man who is helping them, nearly one-hundred civilians are sheltering at Aung Mingalar Botaw Monastery. He said fighting was still breaking out near their homes in Kon Hser village-tract.

An SSPP official confirmed with SHAN the clashes with RCSS in the area, and said the EAOs have initiated discussions.

According to local news sources, violence is also happening in Namtu Township, with reports of civilian injuries during the fighting.
