Ethnic Ta’ang troops clashed with the Burma Army in Shan State’s Kutkai and Namtu townships on Jan. 12, in the midst of celebrations for Ta’ang National Revolutionary Day.

The Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA) was celebrating its 53rd revolutionary day when Burma Army soldiers fired near Hopon village in Kutkai even after both sides had ceased engagement, an official from the armed group said.

Tar Gote Ja, vice chairman of the TNLA, told The Irrawaddy on Friday that the attack near Kutkai was likely timed to coincide with the group’s celebration.
