Starting from July 18, the military, with around 100 troops, advanced through Kyaokar village, crossing the Myitsone River toward the southeastern mountain areas. On July 21, at approximately 8 AM, various PDF units—including PDF (Kalay) units 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7, along with the Kalay People’s Army (KPA), CNDF – Vakok, CDF – KKG, and RKDF—coordinated a fierce counterattack near the eastern side of Kinhmun village and engaged in intense fighting throughout the day.
