🇲🇲 - In Kachin state everything is a stalemate

✍️ The Junta has recaptured most of Bhamo after the KIA failed to root the Junta out from its last positions before the latter received reinforcements

🥸 It is a significant setback for the KIA which invested a large amount of resources and manpower into the Battle

❌ However other offensive operations carried out by the Junta in the state have so far not been blessed by success and stalled out

🤔 The KIA recently held a conference with the Sagaing State's PDF and some of the Chin groups and it's being speculated the KIA will shift into a more supportive role in other areas instead of endlessly ramming their head into a wall in Kachin state

🇨🇾📈🐈 The cat population of the Greek half of Cyprus has exceeded 1 million felines

🇲🇲🇲🇲 - As for what the NUG and it's PDF's + Affiliated groups are up to

⚠️ There is still fighting in Banmauk between PDF + KIA forces VS Junta + SNA forces with the latter two trying to retake territory retaken by the PDF

🇲🇲 PDF forces are also participating in military operations in Magwe and Bago regions as junior partners of the AA and gaining valuable experience under the strongest EAO currently involved in the war

✍️ PDF's are also assisting the TNLA in some fighting against the Junta with most of them holding the northern front in the Mogok direction

👀 Overall some of you may remember that significant reforms were announced and I can report that they are being implemented

🆒 Smaller Units keep getting consolidated into more combat capable larger and better organized units all over Myanmar from the Karen hills to Sagaing

🤔 As for Sagaing, the main "base" or the PDF's, there are rumours that the NUG has been stockpiling ammunition and arms in the region and just generally preparing their logistics

📣 Many people are expecting an offensive in the area sometime in the future, rebel orgs like to start their offensives at the end of October or November

🗓 Take:
Operation 1027 launched 27th October
Operation 1111 launched 11th November
Operation Taungthaman launched 28th October
The Chin offensive launched 11th November

🔜 The NUG MOD did announce that they would carry out a major operation this year back in January and during the setbacks the resistance suffered in the Summer they appealed to the people to be resilient and just wait a bit longer

🤫 So we will have to see, maybe we will see a large scale PDF offensive this year, maybe we won't

🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲 - Finishing off the Myanmar update we head to the lands of the Karen, Karenni and Mon

⚠️ The Junta has also started partial counterattacks in the lands of the Karen and Karenni ahead of the elections

🥸 It's mostly the Junta re-establishing a land connection between the various isolated towns they control in the region via retaking the Highways and mop up rebel cells in towns the Junta plans to hold the elections in

☄️ The fighting is overall not that intense with the exception of Lay Kay Kaw where the Junta and KNLA + Allies are battling it out pretty heavily with the Junta having partially retaken the town with the resistance holding out in the southern part

✍️ The Mon's which have so far been rather distant to the war are consolidating their forces and an effort is being made to merge the various smaller groups into one large unified Mon force

💬 Overall the southern theater is currently the least intense compared to the others however fighting is still ongoing
