The Battle of Lashio was an offensive conducted by the Three Brotherhood Alliance, along with other anti-junta resistance forces, to capture the northern Shan city of Lashio during the Myanmar civil war. Serving as the headquarters for the Tatmadaw's Northeastern Command, the city was besieged by rebel forces following the collapse of the Chinese-mediated ceasefire that had paused the rebels' Operation 1027.
