The camps of the Chin National Army (CNA) and Chinland Defense Force (CDF) were bombed by the Military Council in Thantlang Town, Chin State.

Junta’s fighter jets attacked CNA and CDF camps in Thantlang Town at 12:30 pm on 22 February. Following the incident, jets attacked CNA’s Bwarpee camp at 12 am on 23 February.

According to a CNA spokesperson, the Military Council are using fighter jets as final tools in the battle to attack the resistance forces. The primary military threats from the regime forces in Chin State are artillery bombardment and air raids by helicopters or jets,

"They (Junta soldiers) dropped bombs on the camps in Thantlang using two fighter jets. Some dormitories were damaged during the incident, but there were no fatalities in any of the camps,” Salai Htet Ni, a CNA spokesperson said.

He also stated that helicopters have landed at the Military Council base in Thantlang, transporting wounded soldiers and replenishing weapons and ammunition and so there are likely to be more battles.

Battles have frequently broken out between local resistance forces and the Military Council since the coup.

Currently, local resistance forces now control over 70 per cent of the territory in Chin state, according to the CNA spokesperson.

During the second week of February, fighters from the CNA and CDF raided the Thantlang Police Station and General Administration Office, seizing over 40 weapons and ammunition, as well as arresting six Junta soldiers with weapons stationed at CB Bank in Thantlang.

It is known that after the junta lost ground battles with resistance forces, only one tactical hill occupied by the Military Council army remains in Thantlang, and thus they are employing air strikes against the resistance forces.

More than 50,000 people are currently internally displaced in Chin State's nine townships, with at least 40,000 crossing the border to become refugees in India's Mizoram State.
