Myanmar's military claims to have recaptured the town of Mawtaung on the Thai border, a minor trading post in the Tanintharyi region. The military stated it lost control in November and retook the town after a two-week counter-offensive, which involved over 200 clashes. This capture is seen as a boost for the military amidst the ongoing civil war following the 2021 coup.
