" People arrested
In Karenni State the total number of people arrested since the coup has increased from 132 to
135 during the past two weeks. The three arrested, including a young woman, were aid
volunteers, who were on the way to provide assistance to one of the IDP camps on July 30,
2021.
Ongoing military aggression
The SAC troops have been continuing clearance operations in the areas where KNDF and
IDPs are staying, so on July 23 the KNDF issued a statement that fighting could occur at any
time.
On July 19, SAC troops who had set up a camp near Kalilyah village, Nan Peh village tract,
in Bawlake township fired artillery into the village. On the same day, SAC troops based in
Bawlake town also shelled artillery into Nan Peh village, about 10 kilometers away After the
shelling, SAC troops in civilian clothes patrolled around the villages of Taw Khu, Kalilyah,
Nan Peh and Tah Leh. Most of the villagers of Kalilyah and Nan Peh have now fled to hide in
the jungle.
On July 20, 2021, the SAC shelled into Pruso town for no apparent reason. Residents of
Pruso suddenly heard loud explosions of shells, but luckily no one was injured or killed.
On July 22, 2021, at 4 pm, KNPP troops and KNDF troops ambushed a convoy of SAC
trucks transporting rations and troops near Kayan Thayar village and Kyauk Kone village in
Loikaw township.
On July 31, 2021, at 11:45 am, KNPP troops and KNDF troops clashed with SAC troops near
Pah Tima village and Daw Muklah village in Loikaw township. The SAC troops, from LIB
261 and LIB 250, were heading to IDP camps in Kayan Thayar village tract and Pakyeh
village tract in Loikaw township, on the instructions of the Eastern Regional Command and
Loikaw-based military command.
Situation of IDPs and humanitarian aid
The new displacement of 812 villagers from Kalilyah and Nan Peh villages in Bawlake
township, due to ongoing SAC artillery attacks on civilians, has raised the total numbers
displaced to almost 120,000 in all townships of Karenni State and Pekhon township. This has
increased the need for food, medicine and shelter for the IDPs.
Some villagers have risked returning to their original villages to try and farm their lands, but
dare not bring their children with them in case fighting breaks out again. They therefore leave
their children in the IDP camps, where makeshift schools have been set up..."
