One column left from Muthey and went to Mu Kee area. The other columns went to Thaw Mee Der Village area. The Karen population is in hiding. The Burma Army at Maladaw re-supplied their food and more soldiers arrived at the camp. They forced villagers to let the soldiers use their bullock cart. The villagers were forced to build a fence around the army camp. The Burma Army told the villagers that they have plans to build a clinic for the population in the area. Burma Army troops are patrolling in Maladaw area. <\/span><\/p>\n

On 2 June, 2006, it was reported by escaped porters as well as the Karen resistance that the Burma Army has plans to start a major operation in Nyaunglebin, Toungoo, and Muthraw Districts that is larger in scale than this current offensive. At present the Burma Army is moving at least two divisions closer to those areas.<\/span> <\/p>\n
