MOC 10 is attacking the Naw Yo Hta Village   and Kay Pu Village area, which is north of the Kyauk Kyi-Hsaw Hta Road from   Ler Mu Plaw Camp. This is the third day of the attacks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bodyCopy\"> Throughout the day, the KNLA (Karen resistance) has   been attempting to slow the Burma Army attacks and protect the villagers from   Burma Army troops in these areas. There were four major engagements between   the Burma Army and KNLA today. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bodyCopy\"> An unidentified Burma Army force is expected to leave   Mawchi in Karenni State (north of Muthraw District) and join the attacks. Currently   LIB 363 is moving towards the Lay Kee area, which is on the border of the Karen   and Karenni State and it is thought that the force from Mawchi will support   this attack from the north. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bodyCopy\"> Tonight, LIB 370 is located at Kwey Ley Daw Village,   LIB 362 is located at Ger Baw Kee Village and LIB 363 is located at Ger Baw   Kee and Ba Na Lo Kleh Villages. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"title2\"> 31 May 2006: VILLAGER SHOT BY BURMA ARMY <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bodyCopy\"> At 9:30am, LIB 370 attacked in Yu Gaw Lo Der Village,   close to the Htee Baw Kee area, and shot a villager named Saw Yweh Moo (over   40 years old) and burned two rice barns. They spent the night at Paw Taw Kyo,   close to Htee Baw Kee. Their troop strength is 140 soldiers. *Saw Yweh Moo was   not seriously injured and has now joined the KNLA (Karen resistance) as a result   of the shooting. He said he was angry and wanted to help stop the Burma Army.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bodyCopy\"> Burma Army LIB 370 attacks have caused Bluh Gaw, Htee   Baw Kee, Blaw Koh and Htee Mu Kee villagers to flee their homes. Those villagers   are in hiding now. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bodyCopy\"> LIB 362 was located in Kyi Thu Kyo (also called Ler   Mu Daw Koh) Village with 140 troops. This Burma Army battalion has caused the   displacement of villagers from Ler Mu Plaw, Saw Mu Play, Naw Yo Hta, Ger Baw   Kee and Bo Klaw Der Villages. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bodyCopy\"> LIB 363 and TOC 27 stayed at Ba Na Loh They Kyo close   to Sherbako. They have 380 troops and their attacks have caused villagers from   Sherbako, Geh Thu Kee and Tee Shi Kee to flee their homes and hide in the jungle.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bodyCopy\"> *New attacks to the south in Muthraw. Burma Army MOC   15 has launched an attack against Karen villagers with seven battalions comprised   of over 700 men. They are attacking south from Pwa Gwa Camp from the Kyauk Kyi-Hsaw   Hta Road. They are moving in two columns as they parallel the Bilin River and   approach the Baw Gwa Village area, which is along the border of Nyaunglebin   and Muthraw Districts. If this force reaches the Baw Gwa area, over 3,000 people   will be displaced. (Note: Burma Army battalion strength has been dropping steadily   the past three years. The average battalion is now only between 120-150 men.)   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bodyCopy\"> With the expected attack in the Lay Kee area, northwestern   Muthraw District would be attacked by the Burma Army from the north, west and   southwest. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bodyCopy\"> The attacks in northern Muthraw District and the seven   battalion attacking south into west central Muthraw District are the latest   phase of an offensive that began in February 2006. At its height, 18,000 people   were displaced and now at least 15,000 people are displaced. The KNLA (Karen   resistance) is operating in small teams and attempting to slow down the attacking   Burma Army and provide an early warning to villagers in its path. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 <\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" bordercolordark=\"#b7c494\" bordercolor=\"#b7c494\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"5\" bgcolor=\"#b7c494\" bordercolor=\"#b7c494\" height=\"30\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<td width=\"706\" class=\"bodyCopy\" height=\"30\">\n<table width=\"99%\" border=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"1%\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<td width=\"82%\"><span class=\"title2\">Other Areas<\/span> <i> <a name=\"2\"><\/a>             <\/i><\/td>\n<td width=\"12%\"><a href=\"#0\" class=\"bodyCopy\">^ top <\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"3%\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><span class=\"title2\">TOUNGOO DISTRICT <br \/><\/span><span class=\"bodyCopy\">On 30 and 31 May and 1 June, Burma Army DIV 66,   TOC 3, IB 1, IB 5, LIB 180 captured villagers from Kler La and Kaw They Der.   They captured women , including one woman who was breast feeding. These women   will be used as porters to carry supplies for the Burma Army from Kler La to   Naw Soe camp on the Kler La \u0096 Busakee road. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bodyCopy\"> <span class=\"title2\">NYAUNGLEBIN DISTRICT<\/span> <br \/>  The Burma Army is actively patrolling all areas of Nyaunglebin district keeping   the people in hiding and re-supplying their camps.
