Ta’ang National Liberation Army plans to expand its administration to govern 18 towns in five districts

The Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) told DVB that it plans to govern five districts under its control, including Namhsan, Kutkai, Namkham and Kyaukme in northern Shan State and Mogok in Mandalay Region, following the Palaung State Liberation Front (PSLF) annual meeting held at an undisclosed location Jan. 3-7.

“After Operation 1027 in 2024, we managed to capture 12 townships. To ensure the security of these towns and manage the current situation on the battlefield, we had to expand our brigades from seven to nine,” Lway Yae Oo, the TNLA spokesperson, told DVB.
