The revolutionary forces are currently conducting a detailed inventory of the captured weapons, ammunition, and military equipment, with initial reports indicating a substantial quantity of seized materials. According to Salai Thak Ni, this victory represents a significant achievement in the ongoing resistance against the military council, highlighting the increasing capabilities of the revolutionary forces when conducting joint operations. The capture of this strategic position and its military assets is expected to strengthen the revolutionary forces’ capacity for future operations in the region.
