In a significant blow to the military council, reports confirm the capture of strategic military camps by Karen National Union (KNU) and Kachin Independence Army (KIA) forces in Karen and Kachin States.
On March 15, the KNU seized the Kyaikdon strategic hill camp in Kyainseikgyi Township, Brigade 6, Karen State. The operation resulted in the surrender of 66 military council soldiers, including a colonel-level strategist and 12 officers, who cited food and water shortages in the besieged camp. While the battle for Kawkareik continues, prolonged fighting has left parts of the city ablaze and devastated by airstrikes.
