Battles Targeting the SSPC’s Defense Industry Factories
The Arakan Army (AA) and allied forces have been conducting offensives against the State Security and Peace Commission (SSPC) in the Ayeyarwady, Magway, and Bago regions since early 2025. Over more than 10 months of fighting, they have seized five junta military camps and three villages, and are now targeting two Defense Industry (KaPaSa) factories: KaPaSa-6 and KaPaSa-14. In total, there are 22 KaPaSa factories in Magway and Bago, 16 of them located on the west bank of the Irrawaddy River.
