The KIA successfully seized and subsequently released both the 366th Artillery Battalion and the 236th Infantry Battalion of the SAC forces at 7:00 p.m. on 18th February. Intense clashes continue to occur on the side of the SAC's 21st Battalion.

The local village elder stated, "Reports indicate that the SAC military camps were seized last night. The 366th Artillery Battalion is the same unit that had been previously captured by the KIA and subsequently lost. It was retaken on February 18th in conjunction with the Infantry 236th Battalion."

Following the capture of the two battalions, the SAC initiated a significant airstrike on the camp of the 21st battalion, and the conflict between the two military forces remains fierce.

Local residents report that over ten aircraft from the SAC were deployed and engaged in firing during the skirmish in Bhamo just yesterday.

Furthermore, it is reported that both captured battalions serve as the primary security positions adjacent to the 21st Battalion of the SAC, which is a highly significant base.

The KIA is launching an offensive against the 47th Infantry Battalion, targeting the artillery, armored, air, medical, communications, and logistics facilities of the SAC, as well as the 21st Infantry Battalion located in Bhamo, which was seized the previous day.
