A Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) base near a road
connecting Laukkai and Yanlonkyaing in Shan State has been seized by the
Tatmadaw forces.
The MNDAA base located near a hill was seized yesterday at about 1 am,
resulting in the deaths of three MNDAA insurgents and the acquisition of two RPGs
and eight other weapons. It is reported there were casualties and deaths on the
Tatmadaw side as well.
The Tatmadaw forces conducted area clearance operations, resulting in
fighting with members of the MNDAA since 6th March. In 57 armed clashes with the
MNDAA from 6 to 14 March, the Tatmadaw found 17 bodies of MNDAA members and
seized 27 arms.
Conquering the strategic MNDAA base, known as Point-1269, has helped the
Tatmadaw to control the Laukkai-Yanlonkyaing route. The Tatmadaw forces
continue to conduct area clearance operations to bring stability to the eastern
Laukkai area.
