This is a good breakthrough after a 3 weeks siege.
With the capturing of the Govt HQ, it will be a morale booster and should press on to recapture the rest of the city.

Again try to minimise civilian casualties and troop casualties and try not to damage infrastructure and buildings unnecessarily unless under battle.

Adopting the right military strategy, it will be like 用兵如神，有如神助。(use troop like divinity. as if divinity helps in winning the battle).

It will minimise :-
(1) civilian casualties
(2) troop casualties
(3) minimise collateral infrastructure and building damages
(4) minimise redevelopment and reconstruction cost
(5) win support from civilian in recaptured city.
(6) help in reconciliation and when the war is won in future, it will facilitate Governance.
