Intense fighting between the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and the military has been ongoing since around 3:00 AM today near Lone Khin and Hmaw Si Za villages, east of Hpakant town in Kachin State, resulting in injuries to some civilians, according to locals.

It is reported that the fighting escalated after the KIA and their allies, the Kachin Region People's Defense Forces (KPDF), intercepted a military offensive aimed at jade mining areas controlled by the KIA.

A ground military source stated that joint KIA forces stationed west of Lone Khin and Hmaw Si Za villages are lying in wait to attack the military column. The military council troops are currently stationed at Lone Khin village and the hospital hill, and have been unable to advance further.
