Local news reports indicate that in the village of 7 Mile, located near Momauk Town, the SAC deployed a convoy consisting of 5 military vehicles accompanied by a substantial contingent of troops. Furthermore, the ongoing skirmishes have intensified as KIA forces continue to resist and engage in combat.
Since October 20th, heavy weaponry has been deployed, accompanied by aerial and drone bombardments extending up to 7 miles from Momauk. Additionally, it has been reported that military operations are being conducted intensively on the ground, supported by five military vehicles.
The SAC forces were compelled to withdraw as the KIA successfully intercepted and attacked the SAC while they were advancing in a military column.
In August, following the KIA's assault and subsequent capture of the SAC's No(437) military camp and the Kawng Ja Yang camp located in the Momauk region, the SAC forces initiated a robust military campaign aimed at reclaiming Momauk and regaining control of Bhamo.
Despite the cessation of hostilities, tens of thousands of local civilians continued to flee due to ongoing aerial bombardments. Furthermore, numerous residential structures and buildings sustained damage, resulting in injuries among some local inhabitants. Reports indicate that evacuees remain unable to return to their hometowns, as the airstrikes conducted by the SAC persist, preventing their safe return even after the skirmishes have stopped.
Currently, the SAC forces are conducting daily aerial bombardments in the Momauk region and other locations. In October, the KIA/KPDF joint forces launched an assault on Pang Wa town, which serves as the headquarters for border guards. Additionally, the KIA successfully attacked and seized control of the SAC's No. 1002 and 1003 battalions in Chipwi and Salaw. Efforts for area clearance and the implementation of KIO administrative mechanisms have already commenced.
