YANGON, 12 January 2023, (TON): Myanmar’s junta has carried out air strikes on an ethnic armed group’s base near the border with India, the rebels and media said, with one bomb landing close to the international boundary.
The military coup almost two years ago has sparked renewed fighting with long-established ethnic rebel groups, as well as with dozens of “People’s Defence Force” groups that have sprung up to oppose the junta.
The bombing by five jets killed five fighters at the headquarters of the Chin National Front, which claims to represent the mainly Christian Chin minority in western Myanmar, spokesman Salai Htet Ni told AFP.
