Resistance forces gain ground against military regime in Myanmar

gazette.com October 28, 2024, 06:01 AM UTC

Summary: Three armed militias in Myanmar launched a surprise offensive last year, breaking a military stalemate and gaining significant territory. This shift has left the military regime increasingly defensive, losing control of key areas and facing challenges in regaining lost ground.

The offensive, named Operation 1027, involved coordinated attacks from the Three Brotherhood Alliance, capturing towns and military bases. Resistance forces now control a vast area, stretching from Rakhine state in the west to Kayah and Kayin states in the south.
