Operation 1107 (Burmese: ၁၁၀၇ စစ်ဆင်ရေး) is an ongoing joint military operation launched on 7 November 2023, by the Karenni National People's Liberation Front, Karenni Army, and Karenni Nationalities Defence Force against the Tatmadaw military junta in Myanmar, during the Myanmar civil war. It was launched in support of the concurrent Operation 1027 by other rebel forces in Myanmar.[4][5]

Timeline

7 November

It began on 7 November 2023, with junta border posts in Mese Township, Kayah State (including Pantein)[1] being seized by Karenni forces. Many weapons were seized by the rebels.[6] 70 junta soldiers were said to have been killed in the attack, while Karenni forces claimed to have incurred four dead.[1]

11 November

Starting from 4:00 AM in the morning, KNDF and KA forces started attacking military bases around Loikaw in an operation dubbed "Operation 11.11". The coalition forces captured seven military bases and shot down an aircraft.[7][8]

The KNDF claimed responsibility for the junta K-8W trainer/attack aircraft which crashed in a combat zone near Loikaw, the capital of Kayah State. However, the Tatmadaw claimed the aircraft suffered a technical problem.[9][10] A junta source stated that it was unclear if it crashed from enemy fire or from technical failure.[11]

2 December

In addition to Loikaw mentioned above, fighting has been reported in Demoso and Mobye. It was also stated that this fighting has strategically prevented Tatmadaw from sending reinforcements from Kayah State to Shan state, where Operation 1027 is ongoing. Not only that but also forced it to defend Loikaw and thus left some other areas around it lightly defended.[12]
