About the battle
The Battle of Chinshwehaw was one of the first engagements of Operation 1027. MNDAA fighters attacked military bases, border checkpoints, and police stations. SAC spokesperson, Zaw Min Tun, claimed that they seized a hotel and took hostages.
By 1 November 2023, the SAC conceded that the MNDAA captured the town. Besides seizing numerous weapons and armored vehicles, the MNDAA controls one of the major trade points between Myanmar and China.
