KACHIN STATE – Residents reported that the armory of the NDAK militia group, a subordinate of the junta council, in Panwa, Chipwe Township, was burnt to ashes on Wednesday (November 8).
The armory of the New Democratic Army of Kachin (NDAK) militia under the leadership of Zapkon Teinyan in Panwa Town was burnt to ashes and residents predicted that this may be an arson.
“No clashes or fights were going on. It could have been an arson attack. It was the armory of the Zapkon Teinyan militia group. The residents were happy upon receiving the news. Those militants always make a scene and oppress the locals even at night. The holders of NRC 5/ were discrimated against and oppressed. Some flying pieces of artilleries from armory fire fell onto the neighborhood but they fell at a low speed and there was no harm to the people,” said a resident.
Inside the armory were bombs, bullets, and all kinds of weapons which were highly explosive and people could not even get close to the armory to put out the fire.
