The Myanmar military fully regained control of Khampat, a key town on the India-Myanmar trade route in Tamu District, Sagaing Region, on June 20, 2026.

Sources close to the Myanmar military stated that on June 20, the military successfully re-established full control over Khampat, which is located on the Kalay-Tamu route—a vital communication link between India and Myanmar.

Khampat town had been under the control of PDF groups since November 2023 before the Myanmar military retook it on June 20, 2026.

The Myanmar military is currently launching offensives to secure full control over the Tamu-Kalay route as well.

These military offensives are being carried out to regain control over territories along the trade route in order to implement the India-Myanmar-Thailand trilateral highway project.
