Myanmar soldiers are seen on the Myanmar side of a bridge across the Moei River linking to the district of Mae Sot in Thailand's Tak province on Thursday, April 11, 2024. Guerrillas from the Karen ethnic minority on Thursday claimed to have captured the last of the army’s outposts in Myawaddy district in eastern Myanmar, virtually clearing the way for them to take over Myawaddy town, the major crossing point for trade with Thailand. In a statement by the Karen National Union, the ethnic group’s leading political body, said retreating soldiers seeking to cross into Thailand for refuge were hiding on the Myanmar side of the No.2 Myanmar-Thailand Friendship Bridge. Photos carried by Thai media showed men they identified as Myanmar soldiers resting by the bridge. (AP Photo/Nava Natthong)
