    1. KIA Attacks Helicopter Rescuing an Injured Major in Bhamo<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    m.CDM \u2013 March 6<\/strong>
    In Bhamo, Kachin State<\/strong>, a Mi-17 helicopter<\/strong> sent to evacuate an injured major from the military council forces during a battle was attacked by a joint force led by the Kachin Independence Army (KIA)<\/strong>, according to military sources.
    At around 2 PM on March 6<\/strong>, the helicopter attempting to rescue the injured major was fired upon by KIA and allied resistance forces using heavy weapons<\/strong>.
    During the attack, the helicopter\u2019s fuel tank was hit<\/strong>, causing thick smoke to rise. It attempted to land at Light Infantry Battalion (56) in Shwegu<\/strong>, but failed to reach the base and instead made an emergency landing outside the town<\/strong>.
    After the incident, the military council provided air cover using Y-12 aircraft and jet fighters<\/strong>, and reportedly carried out bombing attacks<\/strong> around the area where the helicopter landed.
    KIA spokesperson Colonel Naw Bu<\/strong> said that they had heard reports about the helicopter being shot at but were still verifying the situation on the ground<\/strong>.
    Previously, in May 2025<\/strong>, KIA allied forces shot down three military helicopters<\/strong> sent as reinforcements to Bhamo. One crashed and another had to make an emergency landing in Shwegu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since the 2021 military coup<\/strong>, KIA forces have also shot down a FTC-2000G fighter jet<\/strong> in the Namphatka battle in northern Shan State<\/strong>, and military attack helicopters in battles around Waingmaw and Momauk<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    2. AA Captures a Key Outpost of the Nat Yae Kan Strategic Hill<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    m.CDM \u2013 March 6<\/strong>
    The Arakan Army (AA)<\/strong> captured one of the main defensive outposts<\/strong> of the Nat Yae Kan strategic hill<\/strong>, which is located along the Rakhine\u2013Magway mountain road<\/strong>, according to local sources.
    The attack took place during the first week of March<\/strong>, and the outpost was captured within a single day of fighting<\/strong>.
    The military attempted to defend the base using five aircraft on March 4<\/strong>, and even after the base fell, three aircraft conducted airstrikes the following day<\/strong>, according to Lay Waddy FM citing military sources.
    The Nat Yae Kan strategic base is an important logistics hub for operations crossing the Arakan Yoma mountains<\/strong>, which is why AA and allied forces are trying to fully capture the entire strategic hill<\/strong>.
    Some soldiers fled toward the main strategic base, while others were captured alive<\/strong>, and weapons and ammunition were seized.
    More than 500 soldiers from Division 11<\/strong> have reportedly been deployed to defend the strategic hill. The military is also sending weapons, ammunition, and drones by air<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Reports also say that conscripts stationed there frequently defect to the Arakan Army and resistance forces<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    3. Four Soldiers Including an Officer Killed in Tanintharyi Clash<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    In Tanintharyi Township<\/strong>, resistance forces attacked soldiers stationed at a monastery in Htauk Mile Village<\/strong>, killing four soldiers including an officer<\/strong> and seizing two rifles<\/strong>, according to Myeik District Battalion 2<\/strong>.
    The clash occurred at around 3:30 PM on March 4<\/strong>, when resistance forces engaged a group of about 60 soldiers<\/strong> occupying the monastery.
    Three resistance fighters were slightly injured<\/strong>, but their injuries were not serious.
    The following day, while resistance forces were conducting area clearance operations<\/strong>, the military reportedly attacked them with drones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The operation was carried out jointly by Myeik District Battalion 2 (Company 1)<\/strong> and Myeik District Battalion 3<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    4. Yaw Region PDF Battalions Fighting on the Kachin Frontline<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    m.CDM \u2013 March 6<\/strong>
    PDF battalions from the Yaw region<\/strong> are currently participating in battles on the Kachin frontline<\/strong>, fighting alongside allied revolutionary forces, according to a statement from the Gangaw District Military Command<\/strong>.
    The statement said that just as PDFs joined the Operation 1027 offensive<\/strong>, Yaw region battalions are now also participating in the Kachin battlefield<\/strong>.
    The purpose is to gain strategic military experience from experienced ethnic armed organizations (EROs)<\/strong> and later strengthen resistance efforts in their home region in central Myanmar<\/strong>.
    Strengthening the Anyar (central Myanmar) resistance movement<\/strong> is seen as a decisive factor in the current revolution.
    To support the frontline and strengthen the resistance in the Anyar region, a fundraising campaign called \u201cMarch Forward Together\u201d<\/strong> aiming to raise 500 million kyats<\/strong> has been launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The convoy, consisting of 58 vehicles<\/strong>, was traveling from Division 33 headquarters in Sagaing<\/strong> toward the Northwestern Regional Military Command in Monywa<\/strong>, escorting supply trucks.
    At around 7 PM<\/strong>, the fourth vehicle in the convoy was hit by four improvised mines<\/strong>.
    During the attack, soldiers guarding the convoy fired heavily with 0.5 caliber machine guns, 40mm weapons, and small arms<\/strong>, but the resistance fighters withdrew safely without casualties<\/strong>.
    Due to the night operation and heavy firing from the military, casualty information on the military side remains unknown<\/strong>.
    The attack was carried out jointly by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
