CHIN STATE – Chin Alliance Force announced on April 23 that they will increase their efforts to capture the town of Kyindwe in Kanpetlet Township even though the junta council has reinforced its numbers and is defending with its air force.
CDF joint forces and PDF forces together launched an attack on the junta camp in Kyindwe last December but reportedly had to retreat just when they were about to capture the camp due to junta airstrikes and reinforcements.
Battles were fierce in Kyindwe and the junta council intentionally bombing the villages is said to have destroyed school buildings and houses and also resulted in civilian casualties.
The alliance also expressed its gratitude to the Arakan Army for their support during the battles in Kyindwe.
The Chin Alliance is formed with Zomi Federal Association, Chin National Force, Chin National Council (Mindat), Mara Land Administration Council, CDF (Kanpetlet) and Chinland Defence Force (Matupi).
The battle in Kyindwe has been going on for nearly four months and it is said that all the residents had to flee the town during this time and are in need of assistance.
