The military is launching a massive offensive to gain full control of the Kawkareik-Myawaddy Asia Road, leading to intense clashes with Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) joint columns, according to an official from a column under the KNLA 31st Strategic Command.

To seize complete control of the Kawkareik-Myawaddy Asia Road—a key Thai-Myanmar border trade route in Karen State—the Military Council is deploying heavy reinforcements supported by drones and artillery fire.

Consequently, fierce battles are occurring almost daily between the junta and battalions under the KNLA and joint columns of the 31st Strategic Command (Bo Kyaw Thet).
