The Ta’ang National Liberation Army (PSLF/TNLA) has announced that following China’s mediation and a subsequent ceasefire with the Myanmar military, armed clashes have stopped across Ta’ang areas, and civilians have been relieved from airstrikes and heavy artillery attacks.

The PSLF/TNLA made the statement in a release issued on January 12 to mark the 63rd anniversary of Ta’ang National Revolution Day.

According to the statement, after the first and second phases of Operation 1027, fighting intensified significantly. In response, the government of the People’s Republic of China intervened in an effort to stabilize all northern regions and worked toward halting armed clashes.

As a result of China’s mediation, the Myanmar military and the PSLF signed a ceasefire agreement on October 28, 2025, at the Haigen Hotel in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China. The PSLF/TNLA said that due to this ceasefire agreement, armed fighting has ceased in Ta’ang regions during the period of the 63rd Ta’ang National Revolution Day, and the public has gained relief from airstrikes and heavy artillery shelling.

The statement further said that the PSLF/TNLA aspires to see an end to armed conflict across Myanmar and the emergence of genuine political reforms, and pledged to continue working together with the people to achieve the political goals and aspirations of the Ta’ang nation.

The PSLF/TNLA, together with Northern Alliance members including the Arakan Army (AA) and the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), launched military operations under the name Operation 1027, attacking Myanmar military bases and security outposts and taking control of several towns, where they operated their own administrative mechanisms. However, the Myanmar military later launched counteroffensives combining air support and ground forces, retaking the towns of Nawnghkio, Kyaukme, and Hsipaw that had been temporarily controlled by the PSLF/TNLA.

Following these developments, a ceasefire was reached between the Myanmar military and the PSLF/TNLA, and the towns of Mogok and Momeik, which had also been under temporary control by the group, were handed back to the Myanmar military.
