At approximately 8 PM on January 22, junta
forces launched an attack on the 8-Mile area located between Mogok and Mongmit
(Momeik) townships, where TNLA troops were stationed, leading to clashes,
according to TNLA's news and information department.
Clash erupted as junta forces attacked the TNLA
in Mogok, located within Ta'ang Military Region No. 2.
In the clash, the TNLA seized three weapons
from the junta forces.
Similarly, on January 13, junta forces from the
501st and 502nd Battalions, stationed in Kyaukme Township as part of Ta'ang
Military Region No. 2, initiated an attack on Nyein Chan Yay Kone (Peace Hill),
where the TNLA was deployed.
At that time, the Palaung State Liberation
Front (PSLF), the political wing of TNLA, issued a statement clarifying that
TNLA troops had temporarily retreated due to concerns that local residents
might be caught and endangered by the armed clashes.
Despite signing the ceasefire agreement on
January 11, the junta forces have consistently violated the ceasefire by
conducting repeated incursions, artillery barrages, and airstrikes in Mongmit,
Mogok, Kyaukme, Namkham, and Lashio townships, as reported in the TNLA's
statement.
