In a major setback for Myanmarโ€™s military, Karenni resistance forces have reportedly wiped out almost the entire 80th Infantry Battalion of the juntaโ€™s 66th Infantry Division during fierce clashes near Linh Phon village in Loikaw Township, Karenni State.


The confrontation occurred over two days, on November 25 and 26, when junta forces attempted to advance into the area. However, resistance groups successfully ambushed the advancing junta forces, dealing severe losses. Colonel Phone Naing of the Karenni Army (KA) confirmed that the attack resulted in the destruction of nearly the entire battalion.

The battle resulted in the capture of 25 weapons from the junta forces, and Colonel Phone Naing mentioned that the military retaliated with indiscriminate heavy artillery fire, a typical reaction following their losses.


Sources also suggest that the junta may have suffered heavy casualties, as the fighting erupted while they were attempting to launch an offensive in Karenni State after bolstering their forces via Pinlaung Township. Reports indicate that six military vehicles were dispatched from Pinlaung to reinforce following the major losses.


Preliminary reports suggest that nearly the entire Battalion 80, including its commander, Lieutenant Colonel Lin Zaw, was killed in the fighting.
