History
Recent fighting against the Tatmadaw in the township began on 10 November 2023 when armed ethnic groups launched an attack on a police station in Chaunghnekhwa. A coalition force of the Karen National Liberation Army, Kawthoolei Army and the People's Defence Force destroyed a Attran bridge near Chaunghnekhwa on 17 November claiming it was located on a logistic support route for the Tatmadaw. Fighting has since displaced 20,000 people.
