Chinland Defense Force (Hakha) reports it killed 15 junta soldiers and captured four, including a major, while seizing their Kiamtlan outpost, 1.6 km from Chin State’s Hakha town. Combined Chinland Defense Forces (CDF) attacked the outpost on Monday as part of Operation Rung. Nine weapons, dozens of magazines, and landmines were also seized in the attack, CDF-Hakha said Wednesday

“We took prisoners of war detained them in a safe place,” CDF-Hakha said.“ We learned some of them were involved in torching houses in Thantlang, we will question them.” He added that CDF-Hakha had not deployed troops in Kiamtlan after seizing base. Regime forces responded to the defeat by sending a column from Hakha and another from opposite direction in pincer movement against Chin fighters.

“Clashes are occurring daily, being attacked from two directions are also clashes near outposts along Hakha-Thantlang road. Regime is conducting carries frequent airstrikes & fighting is ongoing in Thantlang,” junta recently retook control of bases seized by Chin resistance groups between Hakha & Thantlang towns, but fighting has continued in the area. Around 200 junta reinforcements arrived in Thantlang town, according to CDF-Hakha, said spokesman.
