ksuadminApril 27, 2021 One of Myanmar’s main rebel groups has invaded a military base near the Thai border, raising fears of further clashes with the country’s armed forces. Tension between the military and some ethnic armed groups in Myanmar has increased since the February 1 coup to overthrow leader Aung San Suu Kyi. On Tuesday morning, members of the Karen National Union (KNU) group broke into a military camp, confiscated weapons and killed several soldiers. Junta spokesman Zaw Min Tun confirmed the attack and said “action will be taken.” Since the start of the conflict, the KNU, which has thousands of members, has positioned itself on the front line against the junta and has even opened training camps to train combatants. She says she has at least 2,000 opponents of the military regime that has taken power.
