Karenni Joint Resistance Forces have announced that they successfully seized Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) 134<\/strong>, based in Hpasawng<\/strong>, on June 30, 2025<\/strong>, following an offensive that began on June 25<\/strong> targeting both LIB-134<\/strong> and LIB-135<\/strong>, units of the illegal military junta stationed in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the start of the offensive until now, the junta has launched heavy counterattacks using various jet fighters and military aircraft, including Y-12<\/strong>, Y-8<\/strong>, FTC-2000G<\/strong>, and other military transport planes, in an attempt to defend the two battalions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 2, 2025<\/strong>, around 1:00 a.m.<\/strong>, four junta jet fighters flew in to bomb targets in Hpasawng. Karenni Joint Resistance Forces responded with anti-aircraft fire and successfully shot down one FTC-2000G<\/strong> fighter jet\u2014manufactured in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The downed jet was later located near Hpasawng<\/strong> on July 3, 2025<\/strong>, at around 2:00 p.m.<\/strong>, by Karenni forces, who recovered parts of the aircraft\u2019s wreckage along with body fragments of the two pilots<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karenni Joint Resistance Forces reaffirmed that they will continue to counter and resist<\/strong> the junta\u2019s airstrikes and offensives\u2014carried out with advanced weaponry\u2014by all means necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
