According to Yaw Ah Lintan, resistance forces have withdrawn from Kyun Thar Village, located in southern Kale Township, Sagaing Region, and northern Gangaw Township, Magway Region, near Hintharwaddy Village.
Local resistance forces had captured Kyun Thar Village on April 10, 2025, but were forced to withdraw on the evening of September 20.
Kyun Thar had been controlled by Pyu Saw Htee militias, and surrounding areas also contain heavily armed Pyu Saw Htee villages, including Hintharwaddy and Myauk Khin Yane in Gangaw Township, and Lel Kyi, Winwa, and Kyauk Pyoke in eastern Kale Township.
To retake Kyun Thar, SAC deployed more than 300 troops, including conscripts, newly trained soldiers from its military training schools, and Pyu Saw Htee militias, launching attacks from Hintharwaddy Village. More than 10 fierce battles took place before resistance forces, unable to match in manpower and weaponry, were forced to relinquish control after over five months of holding the village.
Additionally, Yaw Ah Lintan reported that SAC’s newly acquired Russian-made multi-role MI-38 military helicopters (3 units) have already arrived at Nay Pyi Taw airport.
These MI-38T helicopters can carry 40 to 50 troops, transport loads up to 6 tons, and are capable of flying in rainy conditions.
