近日，緬甸國防軍（Tatmadaw）展開對邊境電信詐騙園區的大規模清剿行動，引發國際媒體關注。根據緬甸官方於2025年10月20日發行的報紙報導，軍方宣布已重新控制位於泰國-緬甸邊境妙瓦底鎮區內的萊卡山佛塔坡與萊凱果新鎮，並對惡名昭彰的KK園區進行全面掃蕩。報導指出，萊卡山佛塔坡於9月9日重新控制，萊凱果新鎮於10月5日收復，期間發生6次大規模戰鬥及53次小規模衝突，軍方繳獲10具遺體與16件各類武器。

在對KK園區的攻堅行動中，軍方查獲30套美國製“星鏈”衛星接收器及相關設備，並對園區內各類建築進行清點。據報，園區內已有的建築包括：單層建築10座、兩層建築100座、四層建築20座、五層建築2座；單層商鋪20間、兩層商鋪30間；單層倉庫15座、兩層倉庫20座、四層倉庫10座；而在建的建築則有兩層21座、三層10座、四層5座、五層5座，以及單層診所2間。園區內的涉案人員總數達2198人，其中男性電信詐騙人員1645名、女性電信詐騙人員455名、男性安保人員98名。

報導指出，由於未能找到園區內建築與土地所有權的正式文件，相關負責人雖被傳喚但未到場，軍方表示將依法採取法律行動。此次行動顯示，KK園區作為東南亞最臭名昭彰的電信詐騙中心之一，其規模龐大且建築完善，長期以來與邊境非法組織、跨國詐騙活動有密切關聯。根據「為緬甸爭取正義」（Justice for Myanmar-JFM）組織的報導，KK園區與緬軍控制下的克倫邊防部隊（BGF）存在聯繫。

此外，報導還提到，緬軍於10月17日重新控制由克倫民族解放軍（KNLA）與人民防衛軍（PDF）控制的秀肯達營地，並於10月19日占領佛牙舍利塔1078高地。整體而言，緬軍此次行動不僅針對網絡詐騙園區，也同步打擊邊境非國家武裝勢力，顯示其在控制邊境地區、清理非法犯罪及軍事威脅方面的決心與行動力。

這起行動凸顯緬甸境內跨國電信詐騙與武裝勢力交織的現實，KK園區長期以來不僅涉及詐騙、博彩及其他非法經濟活動，也與軍方及地方武裝部隊存在利益關聯，使得園區成為國際打擊網絡犯罪的重點目標。

Recently, the Myanmar military (Tatmadaw) launched a large-scale operation to dismantle border-based telecom scam compounds, drawing international attention. According to Myanmar’s official newspaper published on October 20, 2025, the military announced that it had regained control over Lai Ka Mountain Pagoda Hill and Laikay Goke New Town in the Myawaddy Township along the Thailand-Myanmar border, and carried out a comprehensive sweep of the notorious KK scam compound. Reports indicate that Lai Ka Mountain Pagoda Hill was recaptured on September 9, while Laikay Goke New Town was regained on October 5, during which six large-scale battles and fifty-three smaller clashes occurred, resulting in the seizure of ten bodies and sixteen weapons.

During the operation at KK compound, the military confiscated 30 U.S.-made Starlink satellite receivers and related equipment, and cataloged the extensive infrastructure within the area. Existing buildings included 10 single-story structures, 100 two-story buildings, 20 four-story buildings, and 2 five-story buildings; 20 single-story shops and 30 two-story shops; 15 single-story warehouses, 20 two-story warehouses, and 10 four-story warehouses. In addition, under-construction structures comprised 21 two-story buildings, 10 three-story buildings, 5 four-story buildings, 5 five-story buildings, and 2 single-story clinics. The total number of individuals involved reached 2,198, including 1,645 male scam operators, 455 female operators, and 98 male security personnel.

The report noted that the military was unable to locate formal documentation for the ownership of the land or the buildings within the compound. Although responsible individuals were summoned, they failed to appear, and the military indicated that legal action would be taken. The operation underscores the scale and sophistication of KK compound, which has long been recognized as one of Southeast Asia’s most infamous cyber scam hubs, historically linked to border militias and transnational criminal networks. According to the organization Justice for Myanmar (JFM), the compound had connections with the Karen Border Guard Force (BGF), which operates under military influence.

Additionally, the report mentioned that on October 17, the Tatmadaw regained control of the Shukinda Camp, previously held by the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) and People’s Defense Force (PDF), and on October 19, they captured the Buddha Tooth Relic Hill 1078. Overall, these operations demonstrate Myanmar’s efforts to simultaneously combat telecom scams and non-state armed groups along the border, reflecting the military’s determination to reassert control over border regions and eliminate both criminal and military threats.

This operation highlights the complex interplay between cross-border cybercrime and armed groups in Myanmar. KK compound has long been a center for scams, gambling, and other illegal activities, and its links with both the military and local armed factions make it a prime target for international cybercrime enforcement efforts.
