If confirmed, this means the town of Gwa is now under AA control, and only the southern tip of Gwa township remains to be captured, with no significant military positions remaining before the southern border of Rakhine State.

There are early reports the Battalion 372 base in Gwa was captured by AA today, with the Battalion 373 base already captured, earlier this week. Clearing operations are ongoing as SAC forces retreat south along the coast road towards the Ayeyarwady region.

I'm still catching up after being away from everything for a few weeks. This is all I have time for today, but hoping to be able to catch up on the rest over the next couple of weeks.
