The First Battle of Demoso began on May 21, 2021, between the forces of the State Administration Council junta (known as the Tatmadaw) and Karenni separatist groups allied with the anti-junta People's Defence Force (PDF) during the 2021 Myanmar civil war. The battle took place over the span of a few weeks in the city of Demoso and surrounding villages, eventually ending in a ceasefire between the two parties.
