A new video posted by Karen fighters shows ongoing clashes with Myanmar's military junta in Kayah State. The footage reveals one fighter armed with a notable 5.56x45mm NATO "Type 11" assault rifle, which is originally manufactured by Thailand. This weapon's appearance suggests potential external supply channels or battlefield capture in the conflict. The video provides visual evidence of the continuing armed resistance against the military regime in Myanmar's border regions.
