Other MoA event in Htilin Township, Shweaungtha area, Myanmar on Mon 2nd November 2026

Fierce fighting between Myanmar regime and Chin resistance forces continued on Monday across Kanpetlet Township in southern Chin State and neighboring Htilin Township in Magway Region, as the military presses an aggressive counteroffensive aimed at severing critical supply arteries linking central Myanmar to liberated territories in Chin and Arakan states.

Residents in Kyindwe town confirmed that intense fighting persisted in Kanpetlet on Monday. The mountain township, located 189 miles (304 km) south of the Chin State capital Hakha, has been under the administration of the Chin Brotherhood alliance since it was seized in December 2024.

Simultaneously, heavy clashes broke out in Shweaungtha village in Magway Region’s Htilin Township on Nov. 2, according to a local resistance fighter speaking on condition of anonymity.

Htilin sits along the strategic Magway-Chin transit corridor, roughly 179 miles (288 km) northwest of Magway city.

Zin Yaw, a military defector who joined the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) following the 2021 coup, said that the regime’s multi-pronged push along the Magway-Chin highway is explicitly designed to cut off cross-border logistics lines
