Operation Sunrise refers to a series of coordinated military operations conducted by the Indian Army and the Myanmar Armed Forces (Tatmadaw) in 2019, targeting insurgent camps along the India-Myanmar border. The operation was done in two phases dubbed as Operation Sunrise I and Operation Sunrise II, aimed to dismantle bases of militant groups threatening regional security and India's strategic infrastructure, notably the Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project. The operation resulted in a bilateral military cooperation between India and Myanmar to counter cross-border insurgency.
