SINGAPORE — Rebel groups in Myanmar say they have scored a series of battlefield victories against the ruling junta, mounting what security analysts believe is the biggest threat to the military’s grip over the country since ousting a civilian government and seizing control in a 2021 coup.
In the span of 10 days, the Three Brotherhood Alliance said it had captured more than 100 military outposts and seized control over several major highways and border crossings, which is expected to hurt the junta financially. Photos and videos posted on social media show rebel soldiers marching triumphantly through townships and posing in front of weapons reportedly taken from military battalions.
“It took us a long time to plan this operation,” Tar Aik Kyaw, a spokesman for the Ta’Ang National Liberation Army, one of the groups in the alliance, said in an interview. “We had to prepare every single thing methodically … to minimize casualties on our side.”The Ta’Ang National Liberation Army, along with its two allied organizations, the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army and the Arakan Army, “welcomes every other group fighting against the military,” he added.
