Police killed, some missing in Pekhon after terrorist attacks

The insurgents target small police stations to attack to affect the administrative machinery and community peace. About 70 terrorists attacked the Moebye police outpost in Pekhon Township with heavy and small weapons yesterday. Moreover, further 30 terrorists arrived at the place from Moebye dam with the use of three boats in a synchronized attack.
When the security members of Pekhon and Loikaw townships came to provide the needed security measures for the police outpost, the insurgents blocked them at Kone Thar and Khaung Hmine villages. But they retraced after the clash. The convoy of security forces arrived at Moebye police station and combined with the police.
Some of the security members were killed in the attack, and some were still missing. Tatmadaw troops and Myanmar police jointly conducted operations to search the missing members and eliminate the terrorists. — MNA
