The Karenni National Defense Force (KNDF) announced on 7 March that it gave medical treatment to two junta soldiers who were arrested during the battle of Kyaukse Lake in Karenni State.

The two soldiers were arrested by KNDF Battalion No. 1 during the Battle of Kyaukse Lake on 6 March and handed over to the Karenni State Police.

Several Military Council soldiers were killed and some weapons (MA1, MA2, MA4 and MA Sniper) were confiscated during the fighting, according to the KNDF.

Heavy fighting is intensifying every day due to the Military Council offensive. Because of this, the number of displaced people is increasing and more food and medicine is needed in Karenni State.
