Myanmar government forces announced a major victory, capturing the town of Mobei controlled by the Karen National Defense Army, and taking photos at multiple landmarks in Mobei town. The Mobei campaign finally ended with a major victory for the Myanmar government forces! Mobei town is located to the northwest of Loikaw, the capital of Kayah State. The Myanmar military government deployed over 1000 troops, along with other local armed groups, to attack Mobei town. After that, they launched a prolonged attack on the Karen National Defense Army.
The Myanmar military and its allied forces have been launching attacks with their military and numerical superiority. The forces fighting alongside the Myanmar government forces are the Bama ethnic group's militia or the Bama National Army. In addition, some local armed groups, which currently have no official names, have also provided some assistance to the Myanmar military's offensive.
The fact is that the Myanmar military government is conducting a series of counterattacks, aiming to gain more leverage. By the end of December 2025, Myanmar will hold an election to select a new civilian government. Therefore, the Myanmar military government has ordered to recapture as many towns as possible before the end of December to ensure that the Myanmar election can take place in more towns with voting.
It is now the time for the Myanmar military government's counterattack. The situation has stabilized, and strategic counterattacks have already begun in northern Myanmar and Kachin State. The southern region is still in a relatively difficult situation, but the northern area was the first to be targeted for the counterattack. The Myanmar military government is currently receiving support from Russia, and has purchased a lot of weapons and equipment, as well as an increasing number of drones, so its strength will further increase.
If the anti-government armed groups cannot come up with a solution, they may face more defeats. Regardless of anything else, the fact is that the Myanmar military's counterattacks will become increasingly frequent. If nothing changes, the opposition armed groups can only suffer defeat.
