The Katha Township clashes denote a series of clashes between the Tatmadaw, the Kachin Independence Army, the All Burma Students' Democratic Front, and the People's Defense Force in Katha Township, Sagaing Region, Myanmar.
On 30 May 2021, a police station in Moe La Tay village was set ablaze by unknown gunmen. Katha PDF and the KIA then clashed with the Tatmadaw. 8 soldiers were killed; 13 were wounded, and 1 was captured.[1]
The PDF claimed that 44 Tatmadaw troops were killed during fighting between 24 June to 26 June 2021. According to KIO spokesperson, Colonel Naw Bu, individual fighters possibly collaborated with the PDFs at their own discretion without order from the KIA.[2]
