Tatmadaw has fully regained control of Moebye town in Kayah State after months of intense fighting with terrorist groups KNPP, KNDF, and PDF, which had taken over the area since late 2023.
The Tatmadaw launched a counter-terrorism operation in September 2024, targeting their strongholds in and around Moebye. The operation involved airstrikes, heavy artillery, and ground assaults. Over 615 clashes were reported during the 9.5-month period.
On July 5 and 6, Tatmadaw captured the final two strongholds of Mwetaw Pagoda area in the south and Nyaung Wine Ward in the east. It is reported that 24 bodies, 63 various weapons, and important documents and videos were seized. The terrorists used religious buildings, schools, and clinics for combat, while planting landmines along public roads, and using civilians as human shields.
Fighting displaced many civilians, including children and elderly, forcing them to flee to nearby towns. Following the Tatmadaw’s victory, security forces are now clearing the last 4.5 km stretch of road to reopen the main route linking Loikaw, Moebye, Pekhon, and Pinlaung. Authorities say efforts will begin soon to restore civil administration and help displaced residents return home, with landmine clearing being a priority.
