Junta HQ Falls in Key Kachin Town.
The Kachin Independence Army (KIA) has captured another junta position in Bhamo, a district-level town in Kachin State where the armed group has been fighting for 2 mths. The
KIA & its allies seized Artillery Battalion 366 headquarters on Sunday. KIA Colonel Naw Bu told The Irrawaddy. He added attacks continue on the nearby 21 Military Op Command (MOC) HQ.
A junta defector Zin Yaw, a former captain, said Artillery Battalion 366 was one of the strongest junta positions in Bhamo, making the 21 MOC easier to capture. He said: “When 21 MOC falls, only Infantry Battalion 47 will be left. KIA & its allies can use captured weapons & armored vehicles to fight remaining troops. Once MOC falls, remaining bases'll crumble rapidly.”

The KIA & its allies seized Bhamo’s airport.
& Armored Battalion 7006 in late January. The remaining bases in junta power hub are smaller, combat-support units where family members have been armed as auxiliary forces, said Zin Yaw. Bhamo is 2nd only to the capital Myitkyina in Kachin State is close to KIA’s Laiza HQ. The regime has carried out several airstrikes on Laiza since fighting broke out in Bhamo in Dec. Bhamo, accessible by road & Irrawaddy River, is now encircled, forcing regime to use aircraft to resupply its troops. KIA & its allies attacked Bhamo & neighboring Mansi on December 4. Mansi fell after a month of fighting.
