The Pekon clashes are a series of engagements between the Myanmar SAC junta and anti-coup factions in Pekon Township, Shan State.
Three months after the military coup, Karen militias raided and occupied a police station in Mobye.[3]
In July 2022, the KNDF targeted an unnamed EAO due to the mistaken belief it was delivering food to the Tatmadaw.[1]
In late December 2023, various resistance groups of Operation 1111 were able to capture two junta military bases, Shwe Pyi Aye and Lwal Pator, in the township.[4][5]
