Myanmar rebels attack jade mining town: media Reuters Forces of the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), one of the ethnic factions opposed to Myanmar’s coup, yesterday attacked military positions at the northwestern jade mining town of Hkamti, local media reported. The attack marks an advance into new territory by the KIA at a time Myanmar has been plunged into chaos since the army seized power on Feb. 1, detained elected leader Burmese State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi and cut short a decade of democratic reforms. KIA fighters attacked an army post at Hkamti township in the Sagaing region early yesterday, the Irrawaddy and Mizzima online publications said.
