The National Unity Government (NUG) and the Karenni State Interim Executive Council (IEC) jointly announced that 228 individuals, including personnel from United Nations Organizations (UN) and International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGO), along with their family members, have been relocated to safety in Taunggyi Township in Shan State on November 18th.

U Banyar, 2nd secretary of the Karenni State Interim Executive Council (IEC), mentioned that discussions were held with the Karenni Revolution Union (KRU), Karenni State Interim Executive Council (IEC), and National Unity Government (NUG) to facilitate the relocation.
