History

On August 9, 2022, the Tatmadaw and the Shanni [Nationalities Army] laid siege to Sezin, which had been captured by the Kachin [Independence Army]. The KIA were forced to retreat after intense clashes with regime forces. Military troops reportedly set fire to around 700 houses in the community and shot civilians attempting to escape.
In April 2024, KIA troops recaptured Sezin from the Tatmadaw.
