Momauk (Burmese: မိုးမောက်မြို့, Shan: ဝဵင်းမိူင်းမွၵ်) is a town in the Kachin State in the northernmost part of Myanmar (Burma). During the Myanmar civil war, the area between Momauk and Bhamo became a focal point of intense conflict, and Momauk was captured by the Kachin Independence Army in August 2024.[1][2][3]
Momauk means "country that sends messengers" (Shan: ဝဵင်းမိူင်းမွၵ်) in Shan.[4]
