CHIN STATE – The junta council convoy, which is likely to go to Mindat Township, has started to leave Pakokku battalion, Magway, according to a resident of Mindat.
The convoy of about 100 junta council ration trucks that came out of the Pakokku battalion to the west stopped overnight at Kamma and Nyaungjippin on March 22, according to the source informed.
“The junta council informer said that the convoy will come to Kyaukhtu, Mindat township. We haven’t know the detail information. It will be confirm if the convoy passed through Pauk,” said a local from Mindat.
The junta council sent provisions, arms and ammunition and transferred the junta police and soldiers. Locals speculated that it is believed to be the intention of bringing in new members of the junta back militia.
As a result of the junta council’s military action, the Mindat Chin Defense Force (CDF) issued a statement on March 23, saying that from next day onwards, the Mindat- Kyaukhtu and Mindat-Saw road sections will be temporarily closed.
Due to the junta council replenishing weapons and supplies; the CDF announced that the roads will be temporarily closed from March 24th to carry out military tasks in order to conduct counter-operations as the operations are underway.
It is also stated that the date on which the road sections will be re-used will be announced, and if anyone fails to follow the announcement, the CDF will not be held responsible.
Before the junta council’s convoys left Pakokku, the junta council army had launched airstrikes and heavy weapon attacks towards Mindat from the beginning of March without any clashes.
