Karen National Union (KNU) fighters had seized Manerplaw on the Thai border following days of fighting, KNU leader Saw Thamain Tun told AFP.
“But, our troops took the base already,“ he said.
Following a split within the Christian-majority KNU, the junta and a breakaway Buddhist faction captured the base in 1995, sending thousands fleeing into Thailand.
The KNU has clashed repeatedly with the current junta following its latest coup in 2021 and has provided shelter and training to other opponents seeking to topple the military.
“We need to rebuild the area to pay respect to all of them,“ he said.
More than three million people have been displaced by the fighting according to the United Nations.
Clashes regularly send thousands fleeing across Myanmar's 2,400-kilometre (1,490-mile) border with Thailand.
