Mattayar Has Fallen: Will Mandalay Be Next?

             (Based on staff articles from The KHIT THIT MEDIA in 01-03 July 2024.)

Burma’s opposition NUG (National Unity Government) is able to claim the capture of Mattaya (Madaya) just 20-miles-north of famous old royal capital city Mandalay on July-2. NUG’s Mandalay PDF has basically wiped-out all Myanmar Army bases in Mattayar Township.

Most significant of all captured bases is the Air Defense Battalion-1014 situated at the Ingyinmyaing Village near the Town of Mattayar. Two massive air-defense guns from the captured Army Base will add to the impressive stockpile of heavy weaponery now in the hands of Mandalay PDF.

One of the strongest and largest Burmese PDFs, the heavily-armed and well-trained MDY-PDF has been participating in the Operation-1027(Part-2) led by TNLA the Palaung Army since June-25. While TNLA with some MDY-PDF units have been attacking the Naungcho and Kyaukme Towns in Shan-North and the Moegoke Town in Mandaly Division, most of the MDY-PDF is smashing Myamar Army bases in Mattayar Township right next to the Mandalay City.

Operation-1027 (Part-2) Begins!

              (Based on staff articles from The KHIT THIT MEDIA in 29-30 June 2024.)

Much anticipated Part-2 of hugely successful Operation-1027 by the Northern-Alliance armies (AA the Arakan Army, TNLA the Palaung Army, and MNDAA the Kokang Army) has begun on June-25 with simultaneous and relentless assaults on the major towns of Naungcho and Kyaukme in Northern Shan State of Burma.

Altogether five Shan-North towwnships namely, Naungcho-Kyaukme-Thibaw-Moegoke-Moemate Towwnships, are now under orchestrated attacks from principally the TNLA forces together with Mandalay and Mattayar PDF forces under NUG, since June-25.

The significant difference of this 1027(Part-2) from the 1027(Part-1) is, this time the Palaung Army TNLA is the leading army intead of MNDAA the Kokang Army last time. Also the public acknowledgment of the participation of NUG-controlled PDF armies from the Middle Burma.
