Bombings and attacks Coup d'états Protests Anti-Muslim violence Related topics The Karen–Mon conflict is a series of armed clashes between the ethnic rebel armies of the Karen and Mon peoples.

Despite the formation of a commission of inquiry by the National Democratic Front, an alliance of ethnic armies, to investigate the clashes, tensions between both parties continued to escalate.

The NDF once again intervened to end the conflict, which resulted in a ceasefire between both parties and an agreement to split taxation revenue generated from the Three Pagodas Pass.

A local village head reported that the fighting had occurred after soldiers from the KNLA went close to an outpost belonging to the MNLA without prior authorization.

The incident came about after the MNLA issued a deadline for the DKBA splinter group to cease their attempts at setting up a base near the Myanmar–Thailand border at Three Pagodas Pass, which was controlled by the NMSP.
