据外媒报道，从上周六4月18开始，到昨天4月20日的三天间，缅甸政府军攻击了克钦西部胡康河谷的克钦独立军阵地。克钦独立军对外联络官早汤中校向媒体发布了战事消息。
早汤中校说，他们刚刚与缅军方面沟通过克钦帕敢玉矿的冲突问题，胡康河谷的战事又开始了，我们正在与缅军北方司令部联系此事，力图以和平方式解决冲突，但看起来很难实现，因为缅军正在不停的进攻。
克钦方面对外媒指责缅军主动进攻挑起冲突，缅军方面则拒绝对此发表任何评论。此外，并没有冲突的详细情况与伤亡情况。
钦和谈代表孙昂对外媒说，我们不久前才与缅军方达成了一个协议，就是双方有军事调动前都要通知对方，但缅军则完全无视此协议。
番外看到的另一条克钦内部的消息也证实了战事的发生，4月20日，早9时许，克钦德乃以北，一伙不知部队番号的缅军，攻打克钦邦克钦14营迈散岗阵地，战斗情况激烈，呈誓拿下克钦军此阵地的态势。下午5时许，战斗状况进一步升级。战斗中，缅军死伤严重。（信息由克钦战事报务提供）景颇中文TV
番外分析，缅军此举是为了攻占克钦军在胡康河谷德乃的琥珀矿山，以达到削弱断绝克钦财政来源的目的。
与此同时，在胡康河谷以东数百公里的果敢南天门山，战事同样在火热的进行中。
据果敢联军新闻发言人林先生告诉外媒，缅甸政府军周一用重火力攻击了联军，林先生一开始并没有再提供其它细节，后来他又补充了一些。林先生说，冲突中缅军方面的21人被打死，另有数十人受伤，而联军方面则有2人阵亡，前线告诉我，缅军的炮火非常猛烈，而且使用了全新类型的火炮。
Fighting between the Myanmar army and Kachin rebels broke out Saturday and continued until Monday, according to the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO). KIO liaison officer, Colonel Zaw Taung, told VOA Burmese government troops attacked a rebel outpost Monday in Hukawng valley.
He added the attack occurred despite the fact his group has been in touch with Myanmar military and government officials, following clashes in the jade mining area of Phakant.
“We are trying to control the situation by communicating and talking with PCG [Peace Creation Group], Conflict Resolution team as well as officials from the [government’s] Northern Command. But it is not very likely to stop the clash, as some of their ground troops continue advancing,” said Zaw Taung.
The KIO blames the government for the fighting. The government has refused VOA's requests for comment about this story.
No casualties have been reported by either side.
Kachin peace broker Seng Aung told VOA Burmese that both sides should maintain an agreement reached earlier this month, which requires informing each other of their military activities.
“Such incidents can be avoided as long as both sides maintain the mutual agreement that they reached earlier this month to resolve possible conflict by informing one another on all military activities. Otherwise, things will get worse,” said Seng Aung.
Another government offensive in northeastern Myanmar also continued Monday, according to a spokesman for Kokang rebel group, the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA).
Rebel spokesman Tun Myat Lin said government troops used artillery in an assault against Kokang targets Monday, but no other details were immediately available. He added the rebels killed 21 government soldiers and wounded dozens more, while two members of the Kokang group were killed during fighting on Sunday.
“I was informed that our troops were attacked by artillery this morning. Fierce clashes occurred yesterday as well and we saw new types of artillery were used [by the Myanmar military],” said Tun Myat Lin.
Myanmar officials had not commented on the rebel claim as of late Monday. But last week, the government reported its troops have occupied more than 20 strategic positions held by ethnic Kokang rebels in two months of fierce fighting near the border with China. The government announced its troops, using artillery and tanks, had taken the positions since February 9, when fighting broke out
