The Myanmar military junta arrested 39 individuals on Wednesday. All 39 are suspected allies of an ethnic minority rebel group in Kayah State, from whom they are suspected of seeking military training. The individuals are also suspected to be responsible for several explosions and arson attacks in the Yankin village.
The junta first raided the house of Khin Nyein Thu and several other individuals. Along with the arrest, 48 handmade mines, 20 bars of mild gunpowder, 20 detonators and 10 feet of soft TNT ignite rope were confiscated, suspected to be explosives used in the recent clashes in Yangon. According to the testimony provided by the group, there is still one individual at large who is sought by the country’s authorities.
