Following attacks by the Karen National Liberation Army on military bases in Myanmar’s Kayin State, over 500 individuals — including around 100 junta soldiers and 467 civilians — fled into neighboring Thailand on Saturday. Some military personnel reportedly surrendered, while others escaped as resistance forces overwhelmed government troops. The Thai military has provided medical and humanitarian assistance to the refugees and has tightened border security. Myanmar remains embroiled in a bloody civil conflict following the 2021 military coup.
