1989–1995 battle of the Karen conflict
The Battle of Kawmoora (ကော်မူးရာတိုက်ပွဲ), also known as the Battle of Wan Kha Thit (ဝမ်ခသစ်တိုက်ပွဲ), was a protracted battle between the Tatmadaw and the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA). Before 1994, the Tatmadaw was unable to capture the KNLA stronghold of Kawmoora due to the stronghold's robust fortifications and narrow access from Tatmadaw-held territory.
