Colors shelled the Nan Nein vill on Saturday, the Karenni Nationalities Defence Force (KNDF) said. Myanmar has seen a growing number of deadly battles between its military and fortified resistance groups since the galère seized power in an achievement two times ago. Some of the fiercest fighting has been in this region between the capital Nay Pyi Taw and the border with Thailand.

On Saturday, the service’s air force and ordnance entered the village after the shelling around 1600 original time (09.30 GMT, and executed townies they set up hiding inside a friary, the KNDF said. A videotape from KNDF-one of several ethnic armies which have joined the fight against the military government-showed at least 21 bodies, including three in the orange blankets worn by Buddhist monks, piled up against the friary. The bodies had what appeared to be multiple projectile injuries. The videotape also shows the walls of the friary peppered with pellet holes. The group said the townies had believed taking sanctum with the largely-admired monks in the area might guarantee them protection.
Others in the place had vacated before the dogfaces arrived. Details of the incident are delicate to corroborate, but the savage nature of the attack against unarmed civilians isn’t new in this part of Myanmar, which has seen some of the strongest resistance to the military since the achievement. The KNDF said that since 25 February, there had been increased clashes and fighting as galère dogfaces had advanced on the Nan Nein area and its friary. Nan Nein is on the main route from Shan state to Kayah state, a road the galère believes is critical to arms force to the insurrectionary groups fighting against them. It’s also an area with a mixed population of occasionally rival ethnic groups Pa-O, Shan and Karenni people.
