Shooting between junta troops and civilian resistance fighters in Chin State’s mountainous Mindat continue in the west of the town on Sunday, despite the regime occupying the town on Saturday.
At about 8am on Sunday, shooting started on the Mindat-Matupi highway to the west of the town.
Civilian resistance fighters attacked about nine vehicles transporting approximately 150 junta troops reinforcing Mindat, according to a member of Mindat’s Defense Forces.
There were casualties on both sides, he added. The Irrawaddy was not able to independently confirm the casualty numbers.
