The junta has regained control of Naungcho (Nawnghkio) Town in northern Shan State’s Naungcho Township but there is still ongoing heavy fighting on the town’s outskirts. Previously, Naungcho Town was held by the Ta'ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) which had taken control of the town from the junta on 26 June 2024. But on 11 July 2025, junta forces began advancing on the town from the Tawnghkam area of Naungcho Township.
