The Battle of Kawmoora (ကော်မူးရာတိုက်ပွဲ), also known as the Battle of Wan Kha Thit (ဝမ်ခသစ်တိုက်ပွဲ), was a protracted battle between the Tatmadaw and the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA). Before 1994, the Tatmadaw was unable to capture the KNLA stronghold of Kawmoora due to the stronghold's robust fortifications and narrow access from Tatmadaw-held territory. The Tatmadaw instead fired artillery at enemy positions from Thai territory, with the permission of the Thai government. However, the Fall of Manerplaw on 27 January 1995 allowed the Tatmadaw to advance southward and capture Kawmoora on 21 February.
