๐ฉ๐ฉ (2) KIA and Allied Forces Capture Strategic Outpost of SAC’s Bhamo-based Operation Command (21)
May 27
Allied forces of the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) launched a coordinated offensive this morning (May 27) targeting several critical military positions held by the State Administration Council (SAC) in Bhamo, Kachin State, according to a Kachin military source.
As part of renewed military operations aimed at reclaiming control over Bhamo, the KIA-allied forces engaged in intense clashes and successfully seized the heavily fortified outpost belonging to Operation Command (21) under SAC's command structure.
"A fortified outpost under Operation Command 21 was cleared out this morning," a military source stated.
The fighting erupted around 4 a.m. and has remained intense throughout the day. The allied forces are reported to have seized the key defensive positions and parts of the Operation Command (21) area, according to the same source.
Despite the heavy combat, the source also noted that weather conditions in Bhamo were cloudy with occasional rain.
Additionally, with hundreds of SAC troops arriving near the urban area of Hpakant, the KIA and its allied resistance forces have issued precautionary warnings to local civilians in fields and the village of Phankhar Kone near the town’s entrance, urging them to temporarily evacuate for safety reasons.
On May 26, SAC forces advanced toward the rural areas of Yanchyet Yon, Letpyin, and Phankhar Kone, located near Hpakant. Given the high risk of imminent clashes, KIA and local resistance leaders have called on civilians to evacuate in advance to avoid harm.
“From the KIA side, the warning to evacuate was issued. Civilians in and around Letpyin were advised to move to safety. While some have done so, others have remained in their homes. With the advancing troops, clashes may erupt at any moment, so I believe it’s a preemptive safety measure,” a local resident in contact with KIA told Kachin News Group (KNG).
If SAC columns proceed further into the Hpakant urban area, inevitable direct clashes are expected, confirmed Col. Naw Bu, spokesperson for the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), in comments to KNG.
The KIA-led allied forces have been conducting operations to reclaim control over Bhamo for nearly six months. They have successfully overrun various SAC positions, including armored units, fortifications, artillery units, and infantry outposts. Notably, on May 20, they shot down and destroyed two of the three military helicopters that had been sent as reinforcements to Operation Command (21).
