a final advance into Kawmoora. Chinese-manufactured 210 mm breach-loading siege mortars were used to destroy the front-line bunkers of the KNLA, allowing soldiers to enter Kawmoora. This was the first time the Myanmar Army had used those mortars. Kawmoora was captured on the same day and the KNLA retreated to new bases in Myanmar. Aftermath According to the Burmese government, the battle left 131 Burmese soldiers dead, 302 wounded, and two missing, whilst KNLA casualties amounted to 212 killed and 231 wounded. The KNLA, however, claims to have only lost ten soldiers to the battle and "a few dozen wounded". Over its nearly ten-year existence, three foreigners had been killed in Kawmoora: an American, a Belgian, and a Japanese citizen. It has also been alleged that several Chinese military advisors for the Myanmar Army died in Kawmoora.
