The re-capture of the Asian Highway has been a great loss for the Karen State resistance forces. The entire area from Kawkareik to Myawaddy was captured during the 1027 Operation, and it took a lot of time and effort. Now, almost all the areas that the resistance forces had occupied have been easily re-captured. This has given a blow to the resistance in Karen State.
The military junta is currently taking control of the area. Later, it will continue to attack other areas in the region. In this way, the KNU may also be able to re-capture the areas that it recently occupied, such as the Ukrainta camp on the Thai border.
