Just as the military council is launching a military offensive in Chin State, it is also launching a fierce military offensive to reinforce the rebels trapped in Hpakant, Kachin State. The military offensive is also said to have about six hundred strong. The KIA is cutting off the blockade, but they are still losing ground. Similarly, fighting is still fierce in Moe Bwe, Karenni State. Karenni resistance forces are still resisting to relinquish Moe Bwe.
