On May 19, when military forces entered KNU Brigade 3 territory in Thaung Gyi District, KNLA joint forces engaged them in combat. During the battle, the military column retreated and dispersed, with weapons and ammunition being seized by the resistance forces.
Additionally, on the evening of May 28, KNLA joint forces captured the Kanele military camp in Myawaddy Township along the Thai-Myanmar border, seizing two 120mm heavy weapons and substantial amounts of ammunition.
