Up to 17,000 refugees are now thought to have fled violence in several areas along the Thai-Burma border, as a rebel faction of the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA) on 8 November led an assualt on government property in Myawaddy and Payathonzu. The vast majority of the Karen refugees are now sheltering in a location close to Mae Sot airport, as sporadic bursts of fighting continue across the border.
